State Department: The United States intends to continue pressure on Lukashenko because of the crisis on the border with Poland Lukashenko because of the situation on the border with Poland. This was announced by the head of the press service of the State Department, Ned Price, quoted by RIA Novosti.
According to the State Department spokesman, the United States condemns the use of vulnerable people for political purposes by the Belarusian authorities, as well as the inhumane organization of migration flows to Europe. At the same time, Washington does not intend to immediately impose new sanctions against Minsk.
“We are concerned about photographs and messages from the border between Belarus and Poland. As long as the authorities refuse to comply with their international obligations, undermine peace and security in Europe, continue to persecute people, we will continue to put pressure on Lukashenka, “Price said at a briefing.
The migration crisis on the border of Belarus and the EU countries has begun after President Alexander Lukashenko threatened to loosen control over the flow of refugees and drug trafficking. This happened against the backdrop of yet another aggravation of relations between Minsk and the West.
