Poland said the country has increased the number of troops protecting its border with Belarus as a deterrent amid "destabilizing" actions by its pro-Russian neighbor.
Defense Minister Mariusz Blaszczak met in Jarylowka, in eastern Poland, on Saturday with some of the troops recently deployed near the border with Belarus, writes Al Jazeera.
He insisted that the increased military presence is merely a preventive measure, not an act of hostility, as Minsk and Moscow claim.
Blaszczak said this week that up to 10,000 Polish troops would be stationed at the border.
