DISINFO: Anglo-Saxons provoked Belarus-Polish border situation to impose martial law in the West

SUMMARY

Although there is no military threat from Belarus, Poland is continuing to deploy an intervention force on the border between Russia and Belarus.

Thus, one of the aims of the conflict provoked by the Anglo-Saxons might be to enable the West to impose martial law to solve the internal problem - to isolate the protesters against the "new normality" and quarantines. On the scale of the European Union, this "minority" does not seem so small - we are talking about at least ten million people. Most of them are staunch opponents of the "new world order" introduced under the guise of fighting the epidemic. It is difficult to convince or coerce them through administrative measures.

RESPONSE

An unfounded conspiracy theory put forward without any evidence. There is no basis to claim that the situation at the Belarus-Polish border stands as a pretext to impose martial law in the West.

The situation at the Polish-Belarusian border was not provoked by the "Anglo-Saxons"; it is a recurring narrative accusing the West of the aggressive behaviour towards Belarus and promoting a distorted picture of the migration crisis on the EU-Belarus border.

In 2021, LithuaniaPoland and Latvia faced an influx of irregular migrants arriving via Belarus. Earlier, Belarus had terminated cooperation with the EU to stem illegal migration. This was Lukashenka's answer to the European Union sanctions on the political regime of Belarus (read more about sanctions here).

There is plenty of evidence that the Belarusian authorities have manufactured the ongoing migration situation in Lithuania, Poland and Latvia. Lukashenka's regime is using migrants from the Middle East as "political and hybrid" tools against Lithuania and the entire EU. Commissioner Ylva Johansson said, inter alia: "The authoritarian regime in Belarus is exploiting human beings for political reasons: this is completely unacceptable."
