Belarus rejects accusations of not providing assistance to migrants at the border

Permanent Representative of Belarus to the UN Rybakov: accusations of refusing to transfer aid to migrants are false that Minsk does not provide and refuses to transfer humanitarian aid to migrants on the border with Poland. His words are quoted by TASS.

“I said that any accusations against Belarus of allegedly denying access to international structures and allegedly denying the transfer and delivery of humanitarian aid are an absolute lie,” the diplomat said./p> Related materials 15:31 – 11 November They are not expected.

According to him, it is not difficult to transfer aid to Poland directly, including on the no-man's land. Rybakov emphasized that for this it is worth “just reaching out”.

The diplomat added that he did not discuss the humanitarian corridor for migrants with UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres and knows from the media that this topic was discussed during telephone conversations between President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko and Acting German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

Rybakov concluded that the West can bring accusations against Minsk at any event, so the republic is forced to react and convey its position.

Earlier it became known that the General Prosecutor's Office of Belarus opened a criminal case against the Polish leadership under the article on propaganda of war against background of the refugee situation. The ministry noted that Polish officials grossly violate the norms of international law that enshrine the rights of refugees and citizens of sovereign states.

Since the beginning of November, the migration crisis continues on the Polish-Belarusian border. Thousands of refugees from the Middle East approached the barriers at the border and tried to enter the territory of the European Union. The Polish security forces had to use additional forces to contain their pressure. The European Union accused the official Minsk of aggravating the situation with migrants.
