The Polish Prime Minister Mariusz Kaminski announced that Poland has begun the construction of a “state-of-the-art” wall along the country’s 199-kilometer (124-mile) land border with Russia.

Kaminski described the wall, due to be completed by late September, as similar to the one in place on several segments of the Belarusian border, with “lots of day and nighttime cameras and traffic monitors.” “We’ll have comprehensive monitoring of everything that happens on the border with Russia,” the minister summed up.

According to the Polish border guard, 3,000 surveillance cameras are to be mounted along the nearly 200-kilometer stretch.

The security system company Telbud won the 81-million-euro contract with the Polish border guard last December.
