General Marek Boroń has assured that Polish authorities are aware of the preparations being made by criminal groups anticipating the end of the war in Ukraine. He highlighted ongoing efforts to combat drug smuggling and the trafficking of weapons from the front. Boroń noted that while military equipment is still needed by soldiers and is not flooding into Poland, this situation is expected to change after peace is declared.

He drew parallels between potential future developments in Poland and the conflicts in the Balkans during the 1990s, suggesting that similar but smaller scale issues could arise post-war. The police chief emphasized that criminals are likely to be interested not just in drugs and weapons, but also in financial resources needed for the reconstruction of Ukraine. He stressed the importance of being prepared to detect instances of money laundering and corruption that may follow.

Boroń also remarked on the different scale of the conflicts, indicating that while the situation in the Balkans was severe, there is a need for awareness regarding the inevitable involvement of many former soldiers in criminal activities as the post-war landscape evolves.
