During the interview, Lukashenko rejected the Polish government’s accusations that migrants were smuggled to the country’s border under the influence of drugs.
“Do you have facts that I am pushing these people to the border with Poland? No, it can’t be, “Lukashenko told CNN in an interview.
Excerpts from the interviews were published by Pul Pervogo, a channel on the Telegram platform close to the presidency.
“It’s crazy; everything the Polish government is doing is crazy. You say we feed people drugs? Facts on the table! [Jei] “There will be such events, I will be responsible,” Lukashenko said after a journalist mentioned statements by the Polish government that migrants were being forcibly transported to the Belarusian-Polish border, even under the influence of drugs.
“It is easier to sit in Warsaw and slap various issues, avoiding responsibility towards the Polish people for their reprehensible actions. And it needs to be clarified. Why don’t you want to know what is happening on the wall? We are prepared for that, we have not declared a state of emergency on the border, like the Poles. We allow all journalists to come to the border and find out, “said the authoritarian leader.
According to him, immigrants are not considering staying in Belarus and are awaiting asylum in European Union countries.
“And what, just through the territory of Belarus, people go to their country and to the European Union? And to the other side of the Mediterranean: Spain, Italy, Greece … How many people die there? Hundreds. Thousands of people they are entering the EU. In the same way, they began to pass through Belarus, “he said.
“They are not going to us, they are going to you. Because you invited them. Why did you invite them? – said Mr. Lukashenko. “Why don’t you take the people fleeing the war from the countries you now impoverished?”
“We don’t need to translate everything for Belarus. If they went to Belarus and wanted to stay in Belarus, and we kicked them out to Poland or Lithuania, you would make claims. However, today there are no people who want to stay in Belarus, and I’m waiting for them in time. And they are dumping dead people across the border for us, “Lukashenko said.
Europe accuses the Belarusian regime of organizing migration flows and calls it hybrid aggression in retaliation for the bloc’s sanctions against Minsk for repressing the opposition. In Lithuania, Latvia and Poland, due to the migration crisis in the border areas, an emergency situation was introduced, the construction of a cutting wire barrier was started and border protection was reinforced.
