The Belarusian Foreign Ministry accused the United States of “double standards” because of Biden's statement on migrants 
Deputy Foreign Minister of Belarus Sergei Aleinik accused Washington is in “double standards” in connection with the statement of US President Joe Biden on the migration crisis on the Belarusian-Polish border. He stated this on the air of the YouTube channel “Glavniy. Tour “.
According to him, the United States has once again one-sided and selectively assessed the events taking place in the country. The Belarusian diplomat noted that Washington is once again trying to add oil to the migration situation on the border of the two countries. At the same time, he stressed that the problem of migration is of a global nature, and Belarus has never been a source or cause of migration flows.
In addition, Aleinik added that the “concern” expressed by Biden should concern Poland, Lithuania and other European countries and speak out about their inaction in the situation with refugees, their violation of international obligations and the lack of efforts to resolve the crisis.
Earlier, Biden said that the American authorities had communicated their concerns about the situation with migrants on the Belarusian-Polish border to Minsk and Moscow. The head of state commented on the situation and answered the question of how he assesses the problem with migrants at the border of Belarus. “This is very worrying. We told Russia that we are concerned. We also conveyed to Belarus that we are concerned, “the American leader clarified.
From the beginning of 2021, people began to flock to the border of Belarus with Latvia, Lithuania and Poland. The crisis escalated sharply on November 8, after several thousand people approached the Polish border from the Belarusian side. They do not leave the border zone, some of them tried to enter the territory of Poland on November 10, breaking the barbed wire fence.
The European Union accused Minsk of escalating the conflict. President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko said that the country calmly resists the prevailing circumstances and does not bully.
