Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to describe the support for Polish uniformed services protecting the Polish-Belarusian border, which, as a result of the operation ‘Sluice’ in 2021 have undoubtedly become the object of discredit, as well as the target of physical and psychological aggression. The article discusses the migrants instrumentalisation practice in the policies of Belarus and Russia, then presents selected uniformed services involved in protecting the Polish-Belarusian border. The forms of aggression towards the Polish uniformed services during the operation ‘Sluice’ and the nationwide social campaign ‘United behind the Polish uniform’ were also presented.
