That has been known for a long time. He wants Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania too. He even made noises about Finland. That's why Ukraine is getting so much support. Putin doesn't plan to stop at Ukraine, not at all and Poland is a member of NATO.
Putin rationalized that if Ukraine were to join NATO, he would have a NATO country on his borders. But if he gets Ukraine, he would still have a NATO country on his borders. And an attack on a NATO country would mean we get involved anyway. So supporting Ukraine is the absolute best option right now. Putin could end the war today, he chooses not to.
Poland will transfer troops to the eastern borders due to exercises in Belarus
Polish Minister of National Defense Mariusz Blaszczak decided to transfer combat units from the west to the east of the country because of the exercises in Belarus, said Zbigniew Hoffman, secretary of the government's security committee.
"The Committee analyzed possible threats, such as the deployment of Wagner PMC units. Therefore, the Minister of National Defense, Chairman of the Government Security Committee, Mariusz Blaszczak, decided to transfer our military formations from the west to the east of Poland"
And his lapdog in Belarus too, if he tries anything funny.
Which is why I'm trying to figure out where OP is getting the idea that Russia will invade Poland. If Ukraine is too much for Putler and his army, Poland won't be any easier. Especially with his army already stretched to it's limit.
I doubt Putin has serious plans to invade Poland. I think what he does plan is to draw Poland's money, personnel and materiel, and that of Poland's allies, to the Polish borders in order to strain their coffers and reduce the resources and political goodwill they have available for Ukraine.
If Poland were to start bombing Russians like the Ukrainian government was doing in Eastern Ukraine then yeah, I'd imagine that Putin would want to take down Poland.
