Tensions continued, Friday, November 12, at the border between Poland and Belarus. For weeks, Europeans have accused Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko of fueling the migration crisis by issuing visas to migrants and chartering flights, notably from Turkey, in revenge for the Western sanctions imposed in 2020 on the result of the brutal repression of opponents. The Belarusian leader threatened on Thursday to respond to possible new European sanctions by interrupting gas deliveries passing through his territory.
This crisis in central Europe is causing growing concern in the international community and was the subject of an emergency meeting at the United Nations Security Council on Thursday. At the end of this meeting, several countries, including the United States, France and the United Kingdom, accused Minsk of wanting to “Destabilize neighboring countries” and “Divert attention from its own growing human rights violations”. In addition, the World Health Organization (WHO) is “Very worried” of the health situation of migrants trying to enter the European Union (EU) from Belarusian borders, its director for Europe said on Friday.
Poland has deployed 15,000 troops, erected a fence topped with barbed wire and approved the construction of a border wall. Fearing to be drawn into the crisis, Ukraine, a neighboring country of Belarus, announced Thursday the deployment of 8,500 additional soldiers at the border.
