A meeting of the interior ministers of the Baltic states and Poland is planned for Monday, August 28, in Warsaw, during which the situation on the border with Belarus will also be evaluated. Lithuanian Interior Minister Agne Bilotaite has announced that the Baltic States and Poland are discussing the possibility of completely closing the borders with Belarus, and this issue will be finally agreed upon in Warsaw. What risks appear in this case, and will there not be more pressure from the migrants? These questions were commented on by NBS reserve colonel, military analyst, member of the 14th Saeima (AS) Igors Rajevs in the TV24 program “About the war in Ukraine with Igor Rajevs”.
Rajev emphasized that he would not like to speculate on this issue, as we have to wait for what will happen in the next few days, when the meeting in Warsaw is planned. “Let’s see how this situation develops, because it’s not like everyone wants at any cost that nothing, no one – not a mouse runs anywhere, not a fly flies over! It is necessary to understand what the real threats are and act accordingly. There is absolutely no need to apply those preventive methods, which should not be applied, because we understand that closing the border will affect many areas – it will affect business, it will affect transit transportation and several other things. Because it is not a black and white issue that you are our opponents, you harm us, that’s all – we close the border!” Rajev explained this in the TV24 program.
There are several factors to consider in this matter. And only by “weighing and evaluating all these factors” can we come to a conclusion, the military analyst added.
“But the good thing is that these three countries – Poland, Lithuania and Latvia – we are aware of this problem, we coordinate our actions all the time. And also this meeting of three countries [28.augustā – red.] it’s not the same. So this is a problem that we have to solve, and we solve it together. So, if we take any decision, it will be a joint decision as well. Because it cannot be that Poland will close the border, then all the refugees will run across our border…” said NBS reserve colonel, military analyst Rajevs with a smile.
