Germany is deploying troops to bolster Poland’s eastern border with Belarus and Russia, as reported by various media outlets on Saturday.

Starting in April 2026, several dozen German soldiers will join Poland’s East Shield, with the mission set to last until the end of 2027, according to Deutsche Welle, which cited Berlin’s defense ministry.

German troops will concentrate on engineering tasks, as informed by a ministry spokesperson in the report. These tasks include building positions, digging trenches, laying barbed wire, and constructing anti-tank obstacles.

The East Shield is a €2.3 billion initiative announced by Warsaw last year to enhance security along its eastern border.
