Belarus, thousands of refugees on the border with Poland

Tension on the border between Belarus and Poland. A thousand people flocked to the border. The group, denounces Stanislaw Zaryn, spokesman for the Polish intelligence services, “is under the strict control of armed Belarusians”. “They decide which direction the group takes” the refugee column. “They will try to enter Poland en masse,” he added. “We are ready for any scenario,” added Interior Minister Mariusz Kaminski. Since the beginning of 2021, more than 30 thousand migrants have crossed the border with Poland from Belarus, it is specified. Belarus facilitated the move into retaliation against the restrictive measures adopted by the European Union. To fend off this new migratory flow, Poland sent soldiers to the border and started building a five-meter-high wall.
