Poland begins building a wall along its border with Russia

Poland's government has authorized the construction of a new barrier along the 210-kilometer border with the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad. Polish Defense Minister Mariusz Blaszczak said today that the border must be "sealed" so that the country feels safe.

The move comes amid suspicions that Moscow plans to facilitate illegal border crossings by Asian and African migrants. Blaszczak said the decision came after the Russian aviation authority recently launched flights from the Middle East and North Africa to Kaliningrad.

Preparatory work on the new, temporary barrier has begun, involving Polish soldiers specializing in demining. The kilometer wall is expected to be completed by the end of 2023.

Poland erected a steel wall along its border with Belarus after thousands of migrants tried to cross last year. The European Union has accused Minsk, a key ally of Moscow, of facilitating illegal migration in a "hybrid" attack to destabilize the bloc.
