 Russia deploys a large army on the border with Poland. Russia will strengthen its western borders, Russian Defence Minister Army General Sergei Shoigu said. According to him, Poland began to buy large-scale weapons from the United States, England and South Korea. This is a risk for Russia. Poland has become the main tool of the US anti-Russian policy. Shoigu expected significant NATO forces and weaponry to be deployed in Finland, which has just joined the US-led Western Alliance. Shoigu says Moscow will create new military bases in its western regions and form 12 new units and divisions in response to Sweden and Finland's move to join the NATO military alliance. Tension continues to grow in the zone of responsibility of the Western military district. We are taking adequate countermeasures, Shoigu said. By the end of the year, 12 military units and divisions will be established in there. Shoigu said, adding that the army expects to receive more than 2,000 units of military equipment and weapons. Meanwhile, Poland has confirmed it will send 2,000 troops to its frontier with Belarus, twice the number requested by the border guard to stem illegal crossings and maintain stability. Poland has worried increasingly about the border area since hundreds of battle-hardened Wagner mercenaries arrived in Belarus last month at the invitation of President Alexander Lukashenko.
