Hundreds of migrants from Belarus headed for the Polish border, they will try to cross it by force

Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki urgently called the Crisis Staff of the Department of Security after the news that a group of several hundred to even a thousand refugees had left the border of Belarus for the Polish border and would try to cross it by force.

"Very disturbing information. A large group of migrants has gathered in Belarus along the border with Poland. They are heading towards the Polish border. They will try to enter Poland en masse. The group formed by the Belarusians is dominated by young men. The biggest attempt to force a massive invasion of Polish territory," Stanjislav Žarin, spokesman for the coordinator of the special services, said on Twitter.

While the Polish authorities accuse Belarus and the regime of its president Alexander Lukashenko of abusing refugees and migrants from Asia and Africa as a weapon in a hybrid war against Poland and the European Union, giving them tourist visas, and then transporting them from Minsk to the Polish border, which is also the border EU, Belarusian Border Guard blamed Poland for escalating tensions.

"The indifference and inhumane approach of the Polish authorities forced the refugees to take such a desperate step", the statement of the Belarusian Border Guard states why the refugees are forming larger and larger groups, and today they started marching to the border near the Polish town of Kužnjica.

Since the summer, when the wave of migration started on a new route through Belarus with an attempt to enter the EU at the borders of the Baltic states and Poland, Poland does not allow crossings over the green border, refugees, including women and children, are forced back to Belarus, and it violates international conventions and does not allow them to apply for asylum.

Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said that "Poland's border is not just a line on the map, but a sacred place for which generations of Poles have shed their blood."

Polish police and army brought reinforcements to the Polish-Belarusian border over the weekend and now around 10.000 Polish soldiers and border guards are in place, Polish media reported.

"We are waiting in full readiness. We have been monitoring the situation in Kužnjica for several days, we are ready for any scenario. Strict defense of the border is our priority," Polish Minister of the Interior Mariusz Kaminjski said on Twitter.

According to information from independent Belarusian and Polish media, most of the refugees who started the march to the Polish border are Kurds who recently arrived in Belarus from Iraq with legal visas, but there are also women and children in the group.

The deputy head of Polish diplomacy, Piotr Vavzik, accused Belarus of abusing refugees to organize a huge provocation, as he told the Polish state television TVP, best with shootings and dead people.

By the middle of next year, Poland will build a wall, almost 350 meters high, on the border with Belarus for 5 million euros, and the Polish authorities have announced that they will request that the European Union finance such border defense with around 200 million euros.

While the Baltic countries, which, like Poland, imposed a state of emergency on their borders due to the migration crisis, allow journalists to report from the field with passes, Poland has banned all journalists, including state and pro-government media, as well as humanitarian organizations, from entering the bandwidth. three kilometers along the border where the state of emergency is in force.

As for what is really happening on the Polish-Belarusian border, the public does not have any confirmation from the media either, but only learns from the announcements of the authorities and officials.

Since the beginning of the year, Polish border guards have recorded over 30.000 attempts to cross the border illegally from Belarus.
