Situation at the Poland-Belarus border
02.12.2021
The growing number of attempts from migrants to cross the European Union’s border results from a crisis created by the Belarusian authorities. The situation, which is changing dynamically every day, brings more information and challenges. The latest news about them is gathered on this website.
- The Belarusian authorities have been involved in actions in the nature of hybrid warfare against the European Union since June 2021.
- Illegal migration supported by the Belarusian authorities aims to destabilise the political situation and put the security of Poland and the European Union at risk.
- The aim of numerous attempts to break the territorial integrity and acts of provocation from the Belarusian authorities is to exacerbate the migration crisis caused by Minsk.
- Using the dramatic situation of people living in the Middle East and other regions is part of a cruel and cynical political game played by the Belarusian tyrant.
- Transports with people from these regions organised by the Belarusian authorities continue to arrive in Minsk. From Minsk, these people are transported to the Polish and European Union’s border.
The circumstances that we are now facing require any political disagreements to be put aside. It is a matter of security of the entire European Community and values that unite us. Our unwavering opposition to the actions taken by the Belarusian authorities is also supported by the European Commission and NATO. It is also firm opposition to aggression and disgraceful use of those who suffer as human shields.
Faced with this serious threat, all Polish authorities are making every effort to ensure that Poland and Poles are safe and protected. These efforts include preventive actions, increased Border Guard, Polish Armed Forces and police presence as well as the construction of a permanent wall.
