Poland is accelerating efforts to strengthen the defense of its borders with Russia and
00:06
Belarus. Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced on Monday that construction of the so-called
00:12
East Shield project will begin earlier than planned, by the end of this year instead of
00:17
next. This project will increase military fortifications and other defense measures
00:22
on Poland's eastern border over a length of approximately 800 kilometers. Construction
00:28
is expected to last four years. Tusk was present at a training ground on Monday where
00:34
the first exercises took place in testing elements of the project's new infrastructure
00:39
and emphasized that it is part of a combined effort with the Baltic states and Finland.
00:44
I am glad that the East Shield is moving. This is a joint venture not only of Poland,
00:51
but also of the Baltic states when it comes to the Baltic defense line and Finland.
01:03
Tusk also said that he is to discuss European funding for the project in Brussels in the
01:08
near future.
