Donald Tusk announced the high efficiency of border protection with Belarus. He emphasized the support of the lukashenka regime in the transfer of migrants.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated that as of now, 98% of attempts to illegally cross the Polish-Belarusian border were either thwarted or prevented. He added that Poland is also quite successful in detaining smugglers who transport migrants to the EU. This is reported by UNN with reference to the account of the politician in the social network X (Twitter) and the publication PAP.

Details

It is noted that the head of government, together with Deputy Prime Minister, Head of the Ministry of Defense Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz and Head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Administration of Poland, Coordinator of Special Services Tomasz Siemoniak visited the Polish border with Belarus near Ozeriany Maly in Podlasie on Saturday.

Eleven thousand soldiers and officers are guarding our border with Belarus. We have spent three billion zlotys to strengthen it

- Tusk wrote in his X-account.

"We have achieved almost one hundred percent efficiency in blocking illegal crossings. Poland has regained control over its borders!" - he added.

According to PAP, after a briefing with the command of the Polish army, border guard and police, Donald Tusk said that he had received a report confirming "at least organizational and political support" for the transfer of migrants by the administration of the self-proclaimed president of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko.

We also know about Russia's involvement, so we are dealing with a state machine, in addition to smuggling

- said the Polish Prime Minister.

Tusk noted that "everyone who works on illegal smuggling of migrants is part of this dirty business."

"We have achieved 98 percent detention efficiency, that is, 98 attempts to illegally cross the border were prevented thanks to the decisive position of our soldiers, border guards and police," the Polish Prime Minister noted.
