Poland's army will support the national grid operator PSE in securing critical transformer stations under a new agreement signed on Wednesday, as concerns grow over Russian drone incursions and sabotage attempts.
According to this new agreement, the cooperation includes information-sharing, joint training exercises and military assistance in procuring equipment such as anti-drone systems, though funding details were not disclosed.
Warsaw has faced repeated incidents since 2022, including arson, sabotage and a railway explosion, which officials describe as examples of Russian "state terrorism." Meanwhile, Moscow denies involvement.
The agreement aims to strengthen protection across more than 16,000 km of high-voltage lines and 110 transformer stations, which play a key role in linking the Baltic system with the rest of Europe. PSE is also seeking EU funding to reinforce vulnerable sites and is expanding its own armed security.
