Poland is building the "East Shield" to strengthen borders with Russia and Belarus amid tensions.

Poland is constructing the "East Shield" initiative to fortify its borders with Russia's Kaliningrad exclave and Belarus, amid rising tensions due to the war in Ukraine. The project, costing 10 billion złoty ($2.5 billion), will include physical barriers, surveillance systems, and logistics hubs, completed by 2028. This effort aims to deter potential Russian aggression and is part of NATO's defense strategy in Eastern Europe, responding to security concerns in the Baltic region.
