Diplomat Polyansky accused the EU of double standards due to the crisis with migrants in Belarus
Russia's first deputy ambassador to the UN, Dmitry Polyansky, said that the European Union (EU) is persistently promoting a perverse vision of the situation with migrants on the Belarusian-Polish border. He wrote about this on his Twitter account.
According to him, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and media representatives are not allowed to the Polish border to provide assistance to migrants, as well as to talk about the forced deportation of refugees and the persecution of the unarmed people from Warsaw. “Where are the“ values of the European Union ”? Double standards, “the Russian diplomat summed up.
Earlier it was reported that the acting German Chancellor Angela Merkel, during a telephone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin, which took place on November 10, asked him to influence the head of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko in connection with the situation with migrants at the Belarusian-Polish border. She also noted that the events on the border of the European Union (EU) and Belarus give cause for concern.
The migration crisis on the border of Belarus and the EU countries began after the President of the Republic of Belarus 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.
