Poland announces construction of temporary wall on Russian border

Poland said it would take steps to “increase security” on its border with Russia by building a temporary wall. The announcement was made by Polish Defense Minister Mariusz Błaszczak on Wednesday (2).

“I have decided to take steps to increase security on the border with Kaliningrad Oblast. We will start building a temporary wall that will strengthen border protection,” he said in a Twitter post.

At a televised news conference on Wednesday, Błaszczak told reporters the decision follows an increase in flights from the Middle East and North Africa to Kaliningrad, a Russian enclave along the Baltic Sea between Poland and Lithuania.

The wall will be 2.5 meters high and 3 meters wide and will consist of three rows of barbed wire, Błaszczak told reporters in Warsaw. A fence will also be erected on the Polish side to protect the animals, he added.

“We have taken steps to ensure that the fence is built as quickly as possible. There will be as many soldiers involved as necessary,” he said.

Over the past few months, tensions have increased around the Russian enclave, an isolated but strategically significant territory that experts fear could become a flashpoint in tensions between Moscow and Europe.
