Poland's Defense Ministry says it will send reinforcements to the country's frontier with Belarus. Warsaw claims Belarusian border guards are behind a renewed rise in illegal crossings.
Warsaw has agreed to send 1,000 additional troops to the border with Belarus after a request from the border guard service, state-run news agency PAP said on Tuesday.
Poland said the move came amid a renewed rise in illegal border crossings aided by Belarusian border guards and after soldiers from the Wagner mercenary group appeared near the frontier.
