Attacks on border patrols have been increasing. On Monday, a Border Guard officer was injured by a tree branch. He is hospitalized in stable condition.

Over the past weekend, there were nearly 670 attempts to cross into Poland illegally, with patrols assaulted with branches and stones, according to the Border Guard (SG). On May 28, a Polish officer was attacked near Dubicze Cerkiewne with a sharpened stick and is still hospitalized in Hajnówka. The Białystok prosecutor’s office is investigating this case as an attempted murder.

Government Response

In response to the violence, Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced the creation of a buffer zone at the Belarus border to enhance security and protect law enforcement personnel.

“Police officers are on high alert, guarding the eastern state border. They patrol areas adjacent to the border strip, inspect vehicles, and ensure the safety of residents in border regions,” the Podlaskie police stated.

Background

The Polish-Belarusian border has been tense for months, with migrants, often encouraged by Belarusian authorities, attempting to cross into Poland. The Polish government accuses Belarus of using migrants to pressure the European Union, creating a humanitarian crisis and straining relations.

Polish Border Guard officers have faced various forms of aggression, including being pelted with stones. These attacks are part of broader attempts to destabilize the border region.

The buffer zone and increased patrols are part of a strategy to fortify Poland’s borders and ensure the safety of officers and residents. The situation remains fluid, with ongoing assessments and security adjustments.
