At the same time, he asked for the relevant facts. Lukashenko noted that the Americans “blurted out” this, and then “forgot what they said.”

This can lead to a war of “chance”. One of the reasons for concern of the West is the migration crisis on the eastern border of the EU.
Russian Senator Alexei Pushkov mocked this statement. “Really? Are four thousand migrants threatening Britain now? ” – he noted.
On November 13, Russian President Vladimir Putin explained that the situation on the Belarusian-Polish border was conditioned by military and economic factors. First, he noted, the problem with migrants is caused by the participation of the West in operations in the Middle East. In addition, high social benefits in the countries of the European Union (EU) played an important role in the current situation.

Later it turned out that on the territory of Poland, between two barbed wire fences, there was a group of 60 migrants. A day later, the refugees, according to the Belarusian media, “disappeared”. Probably, the Polish authorities still let them into their territory.
It was also reported about the victims of the migration crisis. For example, in September, the Polish authorities announced that the bodies of three migrants, including a woman, had been found near the border with Belarus. The cause of death was attributed to exhaustion and hypothermia. The exact number of deaths is currently unknown. The first victim also appeared on the Polish side – a soldier died in an accident involving a shot from a service weapon.
