On Thursday, August 10, 2023, the Minister of National Defense announced in Channel 1 of Polish Radio that a total of up to 10,000 soldiers will be deployed in the area of the state border with Belarus. Earlier, the Border Guard and the Ministry of the Interior and Administration applied for an increase in the number of Polish Army forces in the Podlaskie Voivodship from 1,000 to 2,000 and then 3,000.
