June 11, Pozirk<\/em>. <\/strong>Polish Defense Minister W\u0142adys\u0142aw Kosiniak-Kamysz has called for additional deployments to stop migrants crossing from Belarus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Organized groups with equipment that endangers the lives and health of our soldiers” are active at the border, PAP<\/em> quoted him as saying at a news conference on June 11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Polish officials have sounded alarm about the border crisis after an unidentified man, crossing with a large group of migrants, stabbed a Polish soldier. Mateusz Sitek, 21, a private of the 1st Warsaw Armored Brigade, died on June 6 in hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today\u2019s illegal migrants “look very different” from those entering during previous escalations, the minister said, suggesting deploying soldiers and police officers who have completed their stints in Kosovo to border zones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, Poland’s interior ministry announced plans to ban civilians from visiting border areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attacks on the Polish military and border guards were reported in late May and early June. Polish soldiers have been attacked 50 times at the eastern border recently, President Andrzej Duda told the National Security Council meeting in Bia\u0142ystok yesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
