Former deputy of the Rada Tyagnibok called to close the border with Belarus because of the “12 hot spots” , ex-deputy of the Verkhovna Rada Oleg Tyagnibok said that there are 12 checkpoints on the Ukrainian-Belarusian border, which can become “places of invasion” for migrants. The politician wrote about this on his Facebook page.
Tyagnibok said that the current situation on the Belarusian-Polish border is “very serious and dangerous” for Ukraine. In his opinion, migrants will try to get into the country through “12 hot spots that can become places of invasion.” Therefore, the politician called on Kiev to “act immediately and comprehensively” and close the border with Belarus in advance.
In addition, the party leader suggested that the Ukrainian authorities “strengthen military protection, declare a state of emergency in nearby areas, demand real protection and assistance from international partners “. In his opinion, Russia is involved in the migration crisis on the Belarusian-Polish border.
“Because the President of Poland is the only one in the European Union who dared to openly oppose Nord Stream 2,” he stressed.
Tyagnibok also accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of lack of reaction to events in Belarus. The leader of the country “is not in a hurry to close, but at least strengthen the Ukrainian border.” In addition, Ukraine buys electricity from Belarus instead of severing ties with it.
Earlier, migrants on the border with Poland spoke about their desire to leave Belarus. “We want to get to Germany,” one of them said.
The migration crisis on the eastern border of the European Union began in May 2021. Groups of refugees from Africa and the Middle East began to massively cross the border of Poland, Lithuania and Latvia from Belarus. The authorities of the affected countries blamed Minsk and Moscow for the escalation of the migration crisis.
