Polish Government Fears Arming Migrants by Belarusian Special Services
OREANDA-NEWS. Poland fears that the Belarusian special services will provide illegal migrants with weapons, said spokesman for the Polish government Piotr Müller in an interview on the Wirtualna Polska portal.
“One of the options that we have in the analysis is that the employees of the Belarusian services, for example, provide one, two, three people who are in these groups with weapons, and it will simply come to a situation that will be associated with its use. , and then we will have a crisis on the Polish-Belarusian border, "Mueller said.
“Then, of course, the Belarusian authorities will say that they have absolutely nothing to do with this,” he said. Recently, numerous groups of migrants have regularly attempted to break through the border from Belarus to Poland. Two large groups of migrants tried to break through the barriers last night.
On Monday, the State Border Committee of Belarus reported that a large group of refugees from the countries of the East and Africa went to the border of Belarus with Poland. In the evening, the department said that the situation with refugees on the border of the republic with Poland remains extremely tense: more than 2 thousand refugees, including a significant number of women and children, have stopped in front of the Polish barriers on the border line. The Polish security forces do not let them through, the migrants made attempts to overcome the barriers.
Recently, Lithuania, Latvia and Poland reported an increase in the number of detained illegal migrants on the border with Belarus, accusing Minsk of creating a migration crisis. Minsk rejects all charges. In connection with the situation, the President of Poland introduced a state of emergency on the territories bordering with Belarus, the army and the police were involved in protecting the border. President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko noted that Minsk will no longer restrain the flow of illegal migrants to the EU countries: because of the West's sanctions, there is "neither money nor energy for this." The border guards of Belarus have repeatedly stated about the forcible expulsion of migrants by Lithuania, Poland and Latvia to the Belarusian territory.
