The Polish military is currently installing a barbed wire fence on the border with the Kaliningrad region. In late 2022, the Polish authorities signed a $84mln contract to build an electric barrier on the Polish-Russian border.
"Building an electric barrier at the border with the Kaliningrad region should start in March. The electric system near the Kaliningrad region will run along a 200-kilometer [124 miles] land border area," Michalska said, as quoted by the Polish media outlet.
The spokeswoman added that the barrier would be a system of detectors and cameras that would allow border guards to control the situation on the border on a regular basis regardless of weather conditions.
Last year, Polish officials stated that the country was building barriers near the Kaliningrad region to prevent a migrant crisis similar to the one that arose on the border with Belarus in 2021.
At the same time, the situation on the Russian-Polish border has been stable, according to Poland's border guard, with just 11 cases of illegal crossing from Russia to Poland registered over the past year.
