The border crisis: enhanced security measures and international cooperation Poland said it had stopped a possible provocation on the border with the Kaliningrad region by deploying anti-terror units. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk emphasized that quick mobilization helped prevent the conflict. Against the background of these events, Lithuania and Poland are increasing intelligence sharing. The German division in Lithuania is busy monitoring possible threats, analyzing signals from Kaliningrad and Belarus. "That it doesn't go on, it's a consequence, we're doing, t. y. we're waiting," said Defense Minister Roberts Kovna, stressing the importance of preventive measures. But what are the consequences of the increased military presence and intelligence activity on civilians in the region? Strengthening military control may worsen the socio-economic situation and increase tensions at the borders.
