Threat from Belarus and the Russian Federation: Poland is massively checked

To spread: through the growth of "national security challenges" in Poland, thousands of shelters and bomb shelters are inspected. The government allocates almost 5 billion zlotys for modernization and construction of protective structures (about UAH 55 billion 250 million at a current rate).

The threat of war with the Russian Federation prompted the Polish authorities to develop a national program of restraint and defense of the "Eastern Shield" near the Belarusian border and the Russian exclusive Kaliningrad - in the shelter covered by it, they inspect the first priority. As of September 12, 2025, Poland's security authorities ordered inspections of nearly 4,000 buildings to evaluate their suitability for shelter, writes RMF 24 on September 18.

Representatives of local authorities stressed that in addition to the border regions near Belarus and Kaliningrad, support will also be provided by settlements "especially vulnerable to threats. " The new law on civil protection and defense obliges local self -government bodies to identify objects that can be transformed into protective structures - these can be underground levels of buildings or new buildings.

The law provides that shelters should be available to at least half of the population of cities (25% in protective structures) and for 25% of rural residents (15% in protective structures). We will remind, on September 16 President Karol Navrotsky stated that he expects to place nuclear weapons in Poland in partnership with France. On September 15, the Polish Foreign Minister of Poland called on September 15, the North Atlantic Alliance (NATO) to create an imperfect zone over Ukraine.
