Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski has announced that Warsaw is considering the possibility of closing the last two remaining border crossings with Belarus.
Speaking on TVN24, Sikorski stated, “Regarding Belarus’ actions, we are considering closing all border crossings,” highlighting that Polish authorities are currently assessing the economic impact of such a decision.
Poland has already established a buffer zone along its border with Belarus.
Polish Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz noted that the buffer zone will cover 26 locations in the Hajnowski area and one location in the Bialystok area.
A special regime will be enforced in these zones, prohibiting any approach closer than 200 meters to the border.
On June 6, Poland’s National Security Council convened to discuss the detention of military personnel who opened fire on migrants at the Belarusian border.
This incident has fueled calls in Poland for a referendum on withdrawing from the migration agreement.
A shocking video obtained by RT revealed brutal violence by Polish border guards against asylum seekers at the Belarusian border.
One video clip shows Polish authorities accepting money to allow migrants to cross the border and pass the second line of fencing.
Meanwhile, Belarusian authorities are currently investigating three criminal cases against officials from Poland, Lithuania, and Latvia, accusing them of committing crimes against humanity against refugees.
