Russian strikes in Ukraine at the Polish border led on Thursday, 24 September to the evacuation of the passages in Dorohusk and the area of Hrubieszów. Border defender reported that the briefings in Dorohusk and Zosina were stopped twice, after which the movement was restored. For Poland, this means a disruption of transport and the request for constant protection of the east border.
Evacuation after Russian Impacts
Prime Minister Donald Tusk reported the situation on Thursday during a gathering with Bulgarian government chief Rumen Radew. During the talks, Russia again hit targets in Ukraine located close the border with Poland. Tusk spoke about the request to evacuate the passages in Hrubieszów and Dorohusk and about losses and tensions caused by subsequent alarms. He did not specify the kind of objects attacked or the means used.
Operational information of the Border defender specifies that about 3 o'clock the briefing in Dorohusk and Zosina, located in the territory of Hrubieszów, was stopped. Both passages were evacuated twice on Thursday and moved twice on them. erstwhile the alarm ended, they were open. another road crossings in Lublin Voivodeship, i.e. Dołhobyczów and Hrebenne, worked normally.
The boundary works in advanced alertness
Thursday's action wasn't an improvisation. 2 days earlier, the Ministry of the Interior and Administration reported that six transitions in Lublin and Podkarpackie voivodships were put on advanced alert. The procedures adopted limit the number of people and vehicles at the same time on the crossing. The military was besides assigned to the area.
This is an answer to repeated Russian attacks close the Polish border. Mid-September The impact at Dorohusk was besides disrupted by Polish transport. After that alarm, the government announced the designation of refuge points and further strengthening of pass protection. Each subsequent evacuation is simply a applicable test of these procedures.
Russia besides generates costs on the Polish side
Even without violating the Polish border, Russia can force concrete actions on our side. We gotta halt the briefings, get people out, safe the area, and divert additional forces. Drivers and carriers are waiting, and the services are working in a permanent environment of risk. specified emphasis is of economical and intellectual importance.
The Polish state must respond calmly, but hardly. We request effective alarms, shelters, military presence and clear information for the residents. Standby at six east crossings it should be maintained for as long as a real threat requires, and each action should be carefully assessed after its completion.
Security of Poland is simply a measurement of decision
Tusk estimated that Moscow did not show goodwill and warned against hard weeks and months. This diagnosis requires action beyond press conferences. Poland should make anti-aircraft defence, safe border infrastructure and require European partners to participate in the protection of the east flank.
Ukraine's support is in the Polish interest erstwhile it helps keep Russian aggression distant from our territory. This does not relieve the authorities of the first obligation, which is to defend Poles and the continuity of the state's operations. Thursday evacuations reminded that the war going on abroad already imposes costs on Poland. specified attempts must be answered by preparation, resilience and full control of their territory.
