The situation on the Polish-Belarusian border is deteriorating / Article

The Polish border guards today published another video from the border accusing Belarusian security guards of destroying the border fence and using laser beams to dazzle Polish border guards. A group of about 100 migrants was nearby, waiting for the Polish border guard to cross the border.

As it gets colder, a large number of migrants still gather in the settlement at the border, some of whom manage to cross it. The body of a Syrian young man has been found in a forest on Polish territory, police said on Saturday, bringing the number of dead migrants on both sides of the border to 11 since the summer.

Stanislav Zarin, a spokesman for the Polish security service, said: “Unfortunately, this is the death of another victim of the Lukashenko regime. This is how it should be interpreted. The remains of a Syrian were found yesterday. Police are investigating the cause of his death. cause of death, an autopsy is required. “

Concerns about what is happening on the Belarus-Poland border have been expressed by US President Joe Biden, who said: “We are very concerned about this. We have shared our concerns with Russia and also with Belarus. We think this is a problem.”

Moscow rejects connection with the migrant crisis and advocated for its ally Minsk. At the same time, Russian President Vladimir Putin today warned Belarus not to stop the transit of natural gas to Europe, as Alexander Lukashenko said a few days ago.

“In theory, Lukashenko, as president of a transit country, could probably order the cessation of our gas flows to Europe. However, this would be a breach of our transit agreement, and I hope it does not do so, cause significant damage to Europe’s energy sector and “On the other hand, sanctions are constantly being imposed on him and new ones are being threatened,” Putin said.

But the situation on the Polish-Belarusian border remains tense, with dozens of Belarusian troops arriving at the border near the migrant settlement on Saturday.
