Milan, 11 September (LaPresse) – Poland is deploying around 40,000 soldiers to its borders with Belarus and Russia, amid growing tensions following yesterday's Russian drone attack. This was reported by the Polish broadcaster TVP World, according to which the periodic joint Russian-Belarusian exercises, called Zapad 2025, which will begin tomorrow involving tens of thousands of soldiers, have prompted Poland to decide to deploy “around 40,000” of its soldiers near the eastern border. “Poland has been preparing for the Zapad 2025 manoeuvres for many months,” said Cezary Tomczyk, Deputy Minister of Defence, “the Polish army has conducted exercises involving over 30,000 Polish soldiers, as well as NATO soldiers, in order to respond appropriately”. ‘We would like to remind you that Zapad 2025 is an offensive exercise,’ added Tomczyk.
