During a press conference at the Bumar Łabędy Mechanical Works in Gliwice, the Prime Minister stated that Poland has been facing a continuous border attack for the past two years. He mentioned that this year alone, there have been 16,000 attempts made by immigrants to cross the border illegally, who are being encouraged by Vladimir Putin and Alexander Lukashenko who “want to push them into Poland.”
“Now the situation is becoming even more perilous. We have received information that over 100 Wagner Group mercenaries have moved towards the Suwałki Gap near Grodno, Belarus,” Morawiecki stated.

According to the head of the government, “This is definitely a step towards further hybrid attacks on Polish territory.” “They will probably disguise themselves as Belarusian border guards and assist illegal immigrants in crossing into Polish territory, destabilizing Poland. However, they will also likely attempt to infiltrate Poland by pretending to be illegal immigrants, which poses additional risks,” he remarked.
