“Great Britain declared its help through the involvement of engineering troops on the border with Belarus. Thank you for your quick response – the reconnaissance group was with us already on November 11,” added.
“The Polish border is sealed and it will be sealed. Despite hybrid attacks, we will keep Poland safe. I hope that the British engineering military company will begin its border service later this month. Polish soldiers serve side by side with British soldiers,” was written on Twitter.
