"Vote or face the war" / The harsh warning of the prime minister of

"Go vote if you don't want to go to war"

This is the harsh way that the Prime Minister of Poland, Donald Tusk, has chosen to address the citizens before the European elections that will be held this weekend. His team is highlighting security, or, more precisely, the threat of Russian aggression, as a big theme.

Tusk's Civic Coalition is stressing that the EU must stand firm and united against the threat from Moscow.

He is asking the Polish people to get out and vote, to protect themselves.

The message comes from real concerns among the country's electorate, as many Poles are instinctively wary of their neighbor for reasons of history and geography.

For more than 230 km (142 miles), northern Poland faces Kaliningrad, the heavily militarized Russian enclave.

At the main crossing point, the word RUSSIA is clearly written in red letters on the other side. Each passenger bus is thoroughly checked using a sniffer dog before it passes.

Security has been tightened since Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine. But on the eve of the elections, Donald Tusk has declared that he will do more.

Shield East is a 10 billion zloty (£1.992 billion) project to reinforce Poland's border, with everything from high-tech surveillance to trenches. He aims to make sure that the "enemy" knows to "stay away" from Poland, the prime minister announced./ CNA
