Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Zakharova invited the EU to show creativity to help migrants crisis with migrants on the border of the European Union (EU) with Poland and Lithuania, without resorting to the assistance of international humanitarian institutions. She announced this on the air of the program “Evening with Vladimir Solovyov” on the TV channel “Russia 1”, reports TASS.
“They could well show their creativity. Including in public space. For this, there are all international legal mechanisms, including those related to humanitarian law, in order to simply use them, “Zakharova advised, answering the question about the possibility of providing humanitarian assistance to migrants from Europe.
According to the representative The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, everything that should now be involved “is used to criticize those countries that the Western community considers uncivilized for some reason.”
Zakharova recalled that the European Court of Human Rights demanded that Poland and Latvia provide assistance to migrants who are on the borders of countries with Belarus. She noted that these requests have been partially met, but the migrants still need food and warm clothing. “They just need to survive, because for all the cynicism that the Western community shows, we must understand that these are people who are not adapted to our, in the European reading, autumn and winter,” she said.
Earlier on November 9, it was reported that the EU is monitoring a number of countries, including Russia, in connection with the migration problem at the Belarusian border: the West is trying to find out exactly how Middle Eastern migrants ended up in Minsk.
Migration crisis on the eastern border of the European Union began in May 2021. Large groups of migrants 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.
