Senator Tsekov: if anyone is to blame for the crisis on the Polish-Belarusian border, then the Americans
In the migration crisis on the Polish-Belarusian border the United States of America and the European Union are to blame, they must take responsibility for what is happening, and not look to blame. So in a conversation with “Lenta.ru” spoke about the proposal of the Poles to introduce new sanctions against Moscow, Senator from the Crimean region, member of the international committee of the Federation Council Sergei Tsekov.
Earlier, the deputy of the Polish Seimas Janusz Kowalski said that Warsaw should demand from the European Union (EU) and the United States to introduce new sanctions against Belarus and Russia due to the migration crisis on the Polish-Belarusian border.
“Poland cannot afford For the European Union to sit down at the negotiating table with Russian President Vladimir Putin, ”wrote the Polish politician. According to him, one of the options for restricting Moscow may be restrictions on the sale of Russian coal to the EU.
Primitive accusations
Tsekov expressed bewilderment at Kovalsky's proposal to impose coal sanctions against Moscow. “The words that Russia will not have money because of the coal sanctions is, of course, something new,” the politician said. According to him, the Polish authorities live by inventing false accusations against Russia of their own troubles. It is high time to end this, added Tsekov, since no measures against Russia can undermine its status and stability. “It is clear that neither these sanctions, nor the previous ones, nor the future ones will achieve any effect,” the senator concluded.
According to him, blaming Moscow for the migration crisis on the border between Belarus and Poland or its involvement in what is happening is at least strange. “Russia has nothing to do with this. They decided so. These are some kind of primitive, strange accusations, ”the politician added.
“If anyone is to be punished for this crisis, it is the Americans. Because migrants in large numbers come from Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Syria – from where the United States has generated all the conflicts. You have spawned these waves of migrants, so now accept and equip. And the Poles too, since they are so glad that they are in the European Union and NATO. Europeans have participated in many of the American activities. So be responsible for this. You are responsible for this migration crisis today, “Tsekov said.
On November 9, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki accused Russia and Belarus of trying to hit Poland with the migration crisis. He noted that the Polish border had not been subjected to such a tough attack for 30 years.
On November 8, a crowd of illegal migrants from the Middle East gathered on the border of Belarus and Poland and tried to overcome the barriers. According to the Polish government, the number of refugees reached 3,000-4,000. In Warsaw, it was clarified that the camp of illegal immigrants is guarded by Belarusian security forces.
The migration crisis on the border of Belarus and the EU countries began after President of the Republic Alexander Lukashenko threatened to weaken control over the flow of refugees and drug trafficking. This happened against the backdrop of another aggravation of relations between Minsk and the West.
