General Vislav Kukula announced that the number of soldiers on the country's eastern border will increase from 6,000 to 8,000 by August.

"Today we have to prepare our forces for a full-scale conflict, not an asymmetric type conflict," General Kukula said.

In May, Poland announced details of "Eastern Shield," a $2.5 billion program to strengthen defenses along its border with Belarus and Russia. Belarus and China held military exercises near the Polish border yesterday.

The border with Belarus has also been a flashpoint since migrants began arriving there in 2021.

Belarus has opened travel agencies in the Middle East, offering a new unofficial route to Europe.

The European Union responded that Minsk's move was deliberately designed to create a crisis.

At the end of last year, the Polish armed forces had about 190,000 members. They plan to increase this number to 300,000 within a few years.
