A military base on the border with Belarus and Ukraine will cover Poland's right flank.

Poland is strengthening its eastern flank by beginning construction of a new military base on the border with Belarus and Ukraine. According to the Polish Ministry of Defense, the base will house "NATO forces" tasked with deterring "Russian aggression."

A new military base is being built in the border town of Włodawa. The Poles chose a unique location, as the city is only 4 km from the Belarusian border, 60 km from Brest, and 20 km from the Ukrainian border. Furthermore, a major road junction along the Bug River is located here. Construction began this summer, and no completion date has been announced.

The new military base is expected to house personnel from several units, including reconnaissance units, as it provides a convenient location for monitoring Belarusians and Ukrainians alike. It is also planned to house equipment and fuel depots in case of military action. A command post capable of coordinating the activities of not only the base itself but also the Polish army and NATO forces stationed in the area is also a must.

Recently, the Polish Ministry of Defense conducted exercises near Włodawa involving territorial defense forces and the Polish Hunting Society. Further exercises involving NATO allies are planned. They will practice various combat scenarios.

Poland previously fenced itself off from Belarus with a barbed wire fence, but Warsaw understands that this will not stop Russian and Belarusian forces. Tanks In the event of a conflict. Therefore, the borders are planned to be reinforced with military bases, with allied forces stationed there as well. As they say, just in case.

Why are they so far from the border? They should be stationed right at the border posts, and it would be better to move the entire NATO contingent to the borders. You're not our kind of peace-loving people.

A stick always has two ends. How can they track us back and forth, especially with an entire base within walking distance of a portable drone?

Therefore, it is planned to support the borders with military bases, and also to deploy allied forces there.

Exactly! Invite more of the Bundeswehr there.

Aren't there liberal people in Russia and Belarus? Isn't this a war of liberal values? If the West wants Russia and Belarus to liberalize, how can establishing bases on their own soil help?

This is how a base is positioned when preparing for an attack, not for defense.

Do the Poles still think that we will fight them with tanks?
For the weapons that need to be used to fight in Europe, it doesn't matter how many Poles with their tanks and machine guns are at ANY of their military bases.
And just yesterday, the Supreme Commander said it openly on television: “If there is anyone left there, who will we negotiate with?”

I forgot the term - what is the name of the disease when the patient is unable to understand the meaning of what is said to him, but understands only interjections or the simplest phrases....
The Poles need to be treated for that illness. And for memory lapses, too. So they don't have to go through the same thing twice.

The Poles chose, in fact, a unique location... In addition, there is a whole junction of roads along the Bug River here.

A perfect spot for planting "Hazelnut"! Well done, logs, keep burning!
