Situation beyond the eastern border

​​​​​​​“Our border is and will be well guarded”, said Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki during his visit to Kuźnica (Podlaskie Voivodeship), where he met with the representatives of the Border Guard, Polish Army and Police. The visit is related to the sharp increase in the number of illegal migrants from Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan and other countries at the eastern border of the European Union. In a joint statement, the Prime Ministers of Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Poland emphasized that the ongoing border crisis has been planned and organised by Alexander Lukashenko’s regime and constitutes a hybrid attack against Lithuania, Latvia and Poland, and as such, also against the entire European Union.

The situation on the border with Belarus was the main topic of PM Morawiecki’s talks with the heads of the Lithuanian, Latvian and Estonian governments. The videoconference concerned the border crisis caused by Belarus and related to the influx of migrants into Europe.

On Saturday, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki visited the headquarters of the Governmental Agency for Strategic Reserves located in Niemce in the Lubelskie Voivodeship. Responsibilities of the Agency include organisation of logistics for international aid as well as organisation of reception facilities for Ukrainian refugees. The Government assures that all individuals who arrive in Poland will receive aid. Poland cooperates closely with Ukraine, providing, among others, drugs, food and firefighting equipment.

12 marca 1999 roku nasz kraj został przyjęty do Sojuszu Północnoatlantyckiego – największego i najsilniejszego paktu obronnego w historii współczesnego świata. Przystąpienie Polski do NATO było jedną z najważniejszych decyzji po 1989 roku. To wielkie, ponadpartyjne dzieło, z którego powinniśmy być dumni.
