Polish City Near Belarusian Border To Build Shelters
A view is seen of the city central square in this file photo taken on 23 August, 2025 in Bialystok, Poland. Authorities in the city, located approximately 45 kilometers (28 miles) from the Belarusian border, are establishing a network of dispersed protective centers--a strategy informed by Ukraine's civil defense experience--to provide aid and shelter to residents in the event of a military crisis.
