Poland sending 500 more troops to insulate Belarus border

The Hindu  

Polish government officials said on Monday that they are sending 500 additional army troops and special vehicles to the border with Belarus to strengthen it against increasing migrant pressure that they say is orchestrated by Belarus and Russia to destabilise the European Union. “We will defend Poland's border with full determination,” he said after a meeting with the interior minister and the head of the Border Guards. Mr. Morawiecki and Mr. Kaminski said they have knowledge that migrants from the Middle East and Africa are paying big money in Belarus, some $2,500, for an “illusion” of a transfer to Germany, but then are left by Belarusian servicemen in the forests or bogs on the border with Poland. They said Belarus has introduced visa-free travel with some Middle East countries that have “migration potential” to bring in migrants and push them toward Poland and Lithuania.
