Stanislav Zharin: the biggest attempted military invasion of Poland began
A large group of migrants approached the Polish border from Belarus, trying to break into Poland. This was stated by the press secretary of the minister-coordinator of the Polish special services Stanislav Zharin on Twitter.
He specified that among the migrants there are mostly young people. “The biggest attempt to invade Poland by force to date has begun,” Zharin noted.
Earlier on November 8, it became known that Poland had deployed fighters against terrorists to the border with Belarus to protect them from the crowd of illegal migrants. Border Guard officers of the republic reported that groups of illegal migrants are already making attempts to forcefully cross the border, but so far they have not been able to enter the country.
As told by the State Border Guard Service of Belarus, people intend to obtain asylum in Poland. The Polish Ministry of Defense has increased the level of combat readiness of the troops, and Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki convened an anti-crisis headquarters.
The country's Interior Minister Mariusz Kaminsky clarified that the authorities are closely watching the Kuznica border checkpoint for several days, and the security forces are ready for any scenario. At the same time, Lithuania is pulling troops to the Belarusian border.
