Cesary Tomczyk pointed to the tensions on the border with Belarus and the entry of Russian balls into Polish airspace.

Tomczyk made his remarks at the second exhibition while speaking before a high-level panel on the security situation in Poland, noting that his country had already entered a state below the level of a real war.
“What we are facing now in Poland is a de facto hybrid war. We can say directly that Poland is in a state of war, but it is a state of hybrid war.” As reported by the Pakistani News Agency.
He referred to the situation on the border with Belarus, including incidents in which meteorological bullets appeared in Polish airspace. Warsaw has accused Minsk for years of trying to pressure it by sending illegal migrants across the border. Belarus has denied these accusations, while accusing Polish authorities of brutal treatment of migrants.
In recent months, Polish authorities have also reported several cases of Russian aircraft missing in national airspace. Authorities in Warsaw will investigate the incidents, but will conclude that the ship does not pose a threat to national security.
Two more incidents occurred in late June, when Poland was informed that its Russian counterparts had informed it that it had lost or taken control of two airspaces in the Kaliningrad exclave. The aircraft entered Polish airspace for four and a half hours. Polish authorities claimed that they deliberately did not destroy it because of this. “You may have negative consequences.”
However, Tomczyk noted that the shooting incidents are also intended to advance Russia's political agenda. “It's actually a tool that costs a few hundred dollars, and it can be used to influence everyone in a very simple way… just put some words in Cyrillic on it, and it will write all of you from Poland.”
The aim of these tactics is believed to be to stir up debate in Polish society and undermine public trust in the government. The deputy minister said cyber attacks were another facet of hybrid warfare, which is estimated to number around 5,000 a year.
