The head of the European Commission confirmed the expansion of EU and US sanctions against Belarus

& nbsp; This was stated by the head of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen after talks with & nbsp; US President Joe Biden at the & nbsp; White House.

“ We & nbsp; will expand our sanctions against Belarus very quickly '', & nbsp; & mdash; she warned, adding that the & nbsp; EU will introduce new restrictions against Belarusian elements in & nbsp; early next week, reports Bloomberg.

Also, von der Leyen noted that the & nbsp; and & nbsp; USA have prepared sanctions, they will come into & nbsp; force at & nbsp; the beginning of December. This will be a kind of response from the authorities in the & nbsp; republic for & nbsp; organizing a “ hybrid attack '' on the & nbsp; EU, the head of the EC clarified, adding that & nbsp; considers the situation on the & nbsp; Belarusian-Polish border not & nbsp; a migration crisis, but & nbsp; an attempt by Minsk to destabilize its neighbors.

Earlier, Reuters reported that the & nbsp; EU will impose sanctions against 30 legal entities and & nbsp; individuals in Belarus. Under the restrictions may be the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic Vladimir Makei and & nbsp; other officials who & nbsp; the EU considers responsible for & nbsp; creating a migration crisis on the & nbsp; border with & nbsp; & nbsp; Poland.

Recall, on the morning of November 8 & nbsp; it became known that & nbsp; & nbsp; several thousand migrants went from Belarus to the & nbsp; side of the Polish border. The Polish Ministry of Defense announced the & nbsp; full combat readiness of the army, and several thousand Polish soldiers are on duty at the border. Refugees & nbsp; have already reached the & nbsp; borders of the country and & nbsp; are not going to return & nbsp; & nbsp; & mdash; they have set up camp and & nbsp; trying to break through the border. So, on the night of November 10 & nbsp; two large groups of migrants managed to enter & nbsp; the territory of Poland, but & nbsp; security forces forced them out & nbsp; back, many refugees were injured.
