Tusk provided fresh information on the "East Shield"

Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on Monday in Orzysz that the East Shield task is "starting in earnest". He emphasized that it is simply a joint defence initiative, including with the Baltic states and Finland, and that he will shortly discuss its co-financing in Brussels. Minister of National defence and Deputy Prime Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz announced that construction of fortification elements will begin this year; fortifications and warehouses will be built on the indicated sections of the east border of the Republic of Poland, which will receive equipment.
