If the influx of migrants is stopped, the EU can help people return to their homeland, added Morawiecki.
At the same time, the Polish prime minister did not rule out that Alexander Lukashenko, who calls himself the president of Belarus, and the head of the Kremlin Vladimir Putin “are clearly following a strategy aimed at instilling uncertainty and destabilizing the West.”
