DISINFO: Migration crisis on the Polish border is a result of American actions in the Middle East

SUMMARY

All the refugee crises of the 21st century, including the crisis on the Polish-Belarusian border, are more or less an indirect result of the collapse of Iraq and the arson in the Middle East caused by America and its allies. The US policy has never taken into consideration anything other than the American interest, while the Polish authorities have never made any effort to distinguish the American interest from the Polish one.

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the migration issues on the EU-Belarus borders.

The situation on the border was manufactured by Belarus as a response to EU sanctions imposed on Minsk for its oppressive measures against the political opposition. There is plenty of evidence that the Belarusian authorities have instigated the ongoing irregular migration flows to the EU borders via Belarus.

The president of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen said that situation on the EU-Belarusian border is not a bilateral issue of Poland, Latvia, Lithuania and Belarus but a hybrid attack against the whole EU. The vice-president of the European Commission and high representative of the European Union for foreign affairs and security policy (HRVP) Josep Borrell stressed that responsibility for the migration crisis falls on the Lukashenka regime.
