Direct speech: “We gave a very clear signal to Minsk. Any provocation on the Polish, Latvian or Lithuanian border with Belarus would have far-reaching consequences for the regime. The signal was strong, unambiguous.”
Details: He also recalled the decision taken at a joint meeting of the Interior Ministers of Poland, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia to completely close the border with Belarus in the event of a “critical incident”.
Direct speech: “If there is a provocation, if there is a critical incident, all the border crossing points of Belarus with Europe, with the EU will be immediately closed. Those that are still functioning: road, rail, passenger, cargo. Everything. We will completely cut Belarus off from Europe.”
More details: Poland and the Baltic states are concerned about the situation on the border after hundreds of Wagner PMC mercenaries arrived in the country last month at the invitation of the self-proclaimed President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko. In addition, attempts to cross the border by illegal migrants with the assistance of the Belarusian security forces have intensified.
