TL;DR Summary

Poland plans to double its troops at the border with Belarus, deploying an additional 2,000 soldiers to address the growing concerns of illegal migration. The Polish government accuses Belarus of organizing this migration and considers it a form of "hybrid warfare." The deployment comes in response to increased migration pressure and recent military exercises by Belarus near the border with Poland and Lithuania. The new troops will join the existing 2,000 already stationed at the border, supporting the work of police and Border Guard officers. Poland's ruling authorities aim to demonstrate their commitment to security and defense ahead of the parliamentary election on October 15.
