Polish police say the situation was calm overnight after a day of heavy tensions on its shared eastern border with Belarus, where a large group of migrants, mostly from the Middle East and encouraged by Belarus, sought to push their way into Poland.
can be seen as the Polish police play an announcement warning the migrants that crossing the Polish border is only allowed at official border crossings.But as of early Tuesday, the nearest crossing point, in Kuznica, in the northeast of the country, was closed.
The migrants are mostly from Iraq and Syria, though some have come from Africa, seizing on the chance of a new migration route to enter Europe. Most seek to only pass through Poland to reach Germany or other countries in western Europe. Germany’s outgoing interior minister, Horst Seehofer, said on Tuesday that all EU countries “must stand together, because Lukashenko is using people’s fates with the support of Russian President Vladimir Putin to destabilize the West.” He called for the European Commission to support Poland in securing the border.
