Poland is strengthening its military presence near the Russian border, according to political analyst Sergei Blagov. He reported that the Polish authorities are currently forming a mechanized division in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, which borders Russia’s Kaliningrad Region.

Blagov also pointed to growing anti-Russian sentiment in Poland, arguing that statements by Polish officials about alleged Russian provocations are contributing to tensions. He believes these claims are being used to justify the deployment of additional military forces near Kaliningrad.

Speaking to the Vesti news service, the analyst said Poland is forming the 16th Mechanized Division in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship and equipping it with advanced military hardware. According to Blagov, this buildup reflects Warsaw’s plans to strengthen its military positions along the Russian border.

The political analyst had previously reported increased activity by Polish intelligence services concerning Russia and Belarus. He cited recruitment information published on the Polish intelligence agency’s website, including vacancies requiring knowledge of the Russian language.

Blagov further stated that Warsaw continues to closely monitor developments in Kaliningrad Region. According to him, Polish authorities are particularly interested in gathering information about the number of Russian troops stationed in the area.
