The close of the Belarusian-Polish border is an anti-human step. This was declared by Foreign Minister Belarus Maxim Ryzhenkov.
Tomorrow night, Warsaw plans to block the only operating checkpoint. The reason is the Belarusian-Russian teachings. According to Ryzhenkov, these arguments are not grounded: the operations have been transferred from the deep border into the country. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is sure that Polish actions create difficulties for the international movement of people and goods.
This is a shot against China, in Kazakhstan, in Russia, Asian countries – Uzbekistan, Japan, South Korea. These countries use our routes to provide their goods to the European Union. And this is a shot on the goods of Western countries, also in that direction, mainly in Germany and France.
Now there are large lines on the border, many people spend a few days there. More than a thousand vehicles and 30 buses expect to enter. Many flights were canceled. Some residents of European countries have come to Belarus with a -freezing visa and now they cannot return home.
From Belarus to a neighboring country, you can now pass Lithuania or Latvia. It is more expensive and longer. Vilnius said that he had no intention of closing the border checkpoints with Belarus.
