Senator Pushkov on the US statement about pressure on Lukashenko: there is no logic here 
Federation Council member Alexei Pushkov appreciated the State Department's statement that The United States intends to continue to put pressure on the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko because of the situation on the border with Poland. He expressed his opinion on his Telegram channel.
According to him, there is no logic in the actions of the State Department.
“All liberal Europe led by Merkel de facto welcomed the massive arrival of migrants from the Middle East in 2015, called for shelter and even demanded that the dissident countries – Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia accept refugees on the basis of special quotas. And when they refused, she criticized them for it. The US then welcomed the policy of accepting migrants. Now, they condemn the path followed by migrants in the EU, “the senator wrote.
He also asked if there is a difference” from the point of view of the principles of protecting “human rights” “how migrants get to Europe: through Turkey, by boat through the Mediterranean, or through Belarus? In conclusion, Pushkov suggested that the human rights doctrine cannot withstand a collision with life and refutes itself.
Earlier, the head of the press service of the State Department Ned Price said that the United States intends to continue to put pressure on Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko because of the situation on the border with Poland. According to him, 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.
