Speaking on Saturday, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Russia has nothing to do with the migrant crisis on the Belarus-Poland border.
I want everybody to know. After Poland and other Western critics had accused Moscow of conspiring with Minsk in order to transport thousands of migrants across the EU border, he stated that they have nothing to do.
Putin stated that European leaders should talk to Alexander Lukashenko, the Belarusian president, to end the current crisis which has led to hundreds of migrants from the Middle East being trapped at the border.
Today, Russian President Vladimir Putin said in an interview to Russian state TV (pictured), that Russia is not involved with the crisis at the Belarus-Poland border with migrants.
Putin declared that Alexander Lukashenko, (German Chancellor Angela Merkel), and he were ready to have a conversation with each other.
“I’m hopeful that this will occur in the very near future. This is extremely important.
Again, he blamed the West and said that the policies of the Middle East had caused the crisis.
“We must not forget from where the crises that are associated with migration originated.” Is Belarus responsible for these crises or is it something else? Putin replied.
These reasons are not created by Western countries, even European ones. These reasons are both political and military in nature.
Putin stated that the Russian government considers recent US and NATO Black Sea exercises a challenge.
“The United States of America and NATO allies are conducting unplanned exercises at the Black Sea. This includes not only an extremely powerful naval unit, but also aircraft, and even strategic aviation. He said this in an interview to Vesti state broadcaster.
