Poland and the Baltic States will "completely cut off" Belarus from Europe in case of "critical incidents" at the border.



This was stated by Polish Interior Minister Mariusz Kaminski after a meeting with the heads of the Baltic States' VMDs, reports Wprost.

We have given a very clear signal to Minsk. Any provocation on the border of Poland, Latvia or Lithuania with Belarus will have far-reaching consequences for the regime. The signal was firm, unambiguous, stressed Kaminski.

He said that Lukashenko was required to withdraw mercenaries of PMC Wagner from Belarus, as well as to remove illegal migrants from the border zone.

If there is a provocation, if there is a critical incident, all checkpoints between Belarus and Europe, with the EU, will be immediately closed. Those that are functioning: road, railway, passenger, freight, all of them. We will completely cut off Belarus from Europe, said Kaminsky.

Recall, Monday, 28 August, a meeting of the heads of interior ministries of Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia was held in Warsaw.
