According to the politician, Russian leader Vladimir Putin and President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko “are following a strategy of undermining and destabilizing the West.” “We don't know what else they are planning. It is also possible that the crisis on the border is intended only to distract from the new military attacks that Putin is preparing in Ukraine, “he said.
The Prime Minister expressed the hope that international pressure will work and the influx of migrants to the border will stop. “If the influx stops, the EU can also help send these people back to their homeland,” Moravetsky concluded.
The migration crisis on the border between Belarus and the European Union began at the end of May. Large groups of illegal migrants from Africa and the Middle East began to storm the borders of Lithuania, Poland and Latvia in the hope of obtaining asylum in the European Union. It is assumed that Minsk uses its national tour operator Tsentrkurort to transport migrants to the EU borders and make money on it.
The crisis escalated on November 16, when some refugees tried to break into Poland. In response, the Poles used special means, as a result of the incident, soldiers, migrants and journalists were injured. Then Lukashenko gave instructions to place illegal immigrants in the logistics center.
