Poland again sent thousands of troops to further strengthen its border defenses with neighboring Belarus as officials also presented plans on Tuesday for a bill to “defend the fatherland” which aims at building up the Polish military.

“We are increasing the number of soldiers helping the Border Guard by 2,500,” Mariusz Blaszczak wrote on Twitter. “Soon, about 10,000 soldiers from the 12th, 16th, and 18th divisions will be watching over the security of the border,” the country’s national defense minister added.
