Zakharova called the statements about the “hybrid attack” of Belarus and Russia on NATO a lie Russia to NATO. The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova called it a lie that the migration crisis on the border of Poland and Belarus is a kind of “hybrid attack” of the regime of Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko with the support of the Russian state. Her statement is quoted by RIA Novosti.
“To pretend that this is some kind of hybrid operation carried out by the President of Belarus with allegedly some kind of support, that this is an accident, that this is a sequence of events taken out of context, do not pretend necessary. This is not true, this is a lie, “Zakharova emphasized on the Russia 1 channel.
Earlier on November 9, it was reported that the EU is monitoring a number of countries, including Russia, in connection with the migration problem in the Belarusian border: in the West they are trying to find out exactly how Middle Eastern migrants ended up in Minsk.
Prior to that, it became known that the European Union will tighten the visa regime with Belarus due to the migration crisis on the border with Poland and suspend the simplified regime agreement which worked before.
