Prime Minister Morawiecki: Poland is preparing for a long fight against the crisis on the border with Belarus
Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said that the solution of the migration crisis on the border with Belarus will require many years of struggle, RIA Novosti reports.
Answering the questions of parliament members, Moravetsky assessed the future of the migration crisis. According to him, the country is preparing for a long struggle with this problem.
“We are preparing for long months, long quarters, and maybe for long years of fighting this provocation [of President of Belarus Alexander] Lukashenko,” – the prime minister emphasized.
Morawiecki said that today, on November 9, he arrived at the border of Poland with Belarus, where he was shown a container town. When the cold weather comes to the country, Polish security forces serving there will begin to live there.
Earlier, the Prime Minister of Poland accused Russia and Belarus of attacking with the help of migrants. The politician added that the crisis on the border could be part of a coordinated attack and a “new type of war.” Morawiecki stressed that the security of the state border of Poland has experienced a tough attack for the first time in 30 years.
On November 9, the Council of the European Union tightened the visa regime with Belarus due to the migration crisis on the border with Poland, which worsened on November 8. In particular, the agreement on the simplified regime will be suspended.
The migration crisis on the eastern border of the European Union began in May 2021. Groups of refugees from Africa and the Middle East began to massively cross the border of Poland, Lithuania and Latvia from Belarus. The authorities of the affected countries blamed Minsk and Moscow for the escalation of the migration crisis.
