“There have been such statements so far – about the diversion of cargo to other ports, then there was a correction that if Russia offers the same conditions and things like that.” I think we should also look at what it means now, whether it’s closing the borders for cargo or people, or something else, ”the minister said in the LRT on Friday morning.
He warned that when a neighboring country’s economy is “on the brink of bankruptcy,” all similar steps should be taken in a measured and responsible manner, as it can backfire.
At that time, L. Linkevičius was concerned about the statements about the transfer of the army to the borders.
“There have been statements that half the army has launched to protect the western border, it seems that here something threatens, something is going to attack. This is an inappropriate response from an inappropriate person to the situation, ”said the minister.
Lukashenko said on Thursday that Belarus was closing the border with the West, mainly with Lithuania and Poland, and strengthening the protection of the state border with Ukraine, and said it would send “half the army” to strengthen the protection of the western borders.
Lithuanian Border Guard commander Rustamas Liubajev told BNS on Friday morning that traffic across the border with Belarus remains normal.
