Hundreds migrants break through to Poland from Belarus. Polish troops are pulled up to the border and are preparing for defense
According to the author of the article, the situation on the Polish-Belarusian border may have an even more negative effect on the European Union. The reason for this is the coordination of actions between the presidents of Russia and Belarus, Vladimir Putin and Alexander Lukashenko, and the lack of trust between the EU member states.
The article notes that with the success of Brussels in putting pressure on a number of airlines in the Middle East, which agreed to stop flights to Belarus, Lukashenka and Putin can easily escalate this conflict. Bloomberg said that in the event of an open armed clash, Russia has already mobilized its forces on the border with Ukraine.
At the same time, Poland will have to coordinate response actions with its NATO allies, while Russians are already flying over the crisis zone nuclear bombers. According to the author, the EU and the US should convince Putin not to bet on a “wider conflagration” and abandon a hybrid war with the West.
On November 16, illegal immigrants attempted a massive breakthrough of the Polish-Belarusian border. Stones, sticks and other improvised objects were thrown at the military and police officers who blocked their passage. The Polish security forces responded with tear gas, water cannons and stun grenades. As a result of the clash, both security forces and refugees with journalists were injured.
