Peskov: US Secretary of State Blinken's interpretation of the migration crisis is incorrect the Polish-Belarusian border and the involvement of the Russian side in it. This is reported by TASS.
“I would like to remind you of the recent statement by [President Vladimir] Putin, where he said unequivocally that he absolutely ruled out the possibility of any involvement of Russia in the situation with migrants. The situation on the border is not created by Lukashenka either, ”Peskov said. He noted that the interpretation of the situation by the State Department is incorrect and it is also wrong to place all the blame on the Belarusian president.
This is how the Kremlin responded to US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, who said that the crisis with migrants in Belarus was an attempt by Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko to distract attention from the actions of Russia on the border with Ukraine.
Since the beginning of 2021, people began to flock to the border of Belarus with Latvia, Lithuania and Poland. The crisis escalated sharply on November 8 after several thousand people approached the Polish border from the Belarusian side. They do not leave the border zone, some of them tried to enter the territory of Poland, breaking the barbed wire fence.
