Politico has learned about the plans of Poland and Finland to restore the marshes on the border with the Russian Federation

The authorities of Poland and Finland are considering the possibility of restoring marshes on the borders with the Russian Federation to protect against the alleged Russian threat. This was reported by the Politico newspaper on August 26.

"On the eastern flank of NATO, the restoration of swamps will be a relatively cheap and simple measure that will simultaneously achieve the goals of the European Union (EU) in the field of nature conservation and defense," the publication says.

It is noted that the swampy area is difficult for tanks and other military equipment. To do this, the authorities of European countries plan to water previously drained peat bogs.

According to the newspaper, options for restoring marshes on the borders with the Russian Federation are currently being worked out in Poland and Finland. Special working groups have been set up for this purpose.
