A special commission tasked with investigating Russian and Belarusian influence in Poland was to begin its work on June 5, Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced. At a news conference in Warsaw, Tusk and other officials described the commission as a nonpartisan body of experts whose aim is to protect national security. Tusk issued an order in May to establish a commission to investigate Russian and Belarusian influence in the years 2004-2024. He and other Polish officials say the country is facing intensified hybrid attacks from Russia and Belarus that include alleged acts of sabotage, cyberattacks, and growing pressure along the Poland-Belarus border.
