The crisis caused by the appearance of thousands of migrants, among whom there are Yezidi refugees from the Middle East on the borders of the EU countries with Belarus, has long ceased to be a matter of these countries alone.
Moscow and Washington are actively commenting on it — and offering their opinions.
European countries themselves are to blame for the situation, Russian President Vladimir Putin believes.
“We have created the conditions for thousands and hundreds of thousands of people to go. And now they are looking for the culprits to absolve themselves of responsibility for the events that are taking place," Putin said in the program "Moscow. The Kremlin. Putin."
US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, in turn, called the current crisis the result of the cynical exploitation of migrants by the Belarusian authorities and linked it to the actions of Moscow.
"The actions of the Lukashenko regime threaten security, sow discord, and are aimed at diverting attention from Russia's actions on the border with Ukraine," Blinken said in a conversation with the Polish Foreign Minister.
Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki on Sunday demanded concrete steps from NATO to protect the bloc's borders. He said that together with Lithuania and Latvia, official Warsaw may ask for formal consultations within the bloc.
On the same day, the head of the European Diplomacy, Josep Borrel, announced new sanctions against Minsk. According to him, the EU foreign ministers can make this decision at a meeting on Monday.
Among the possible recipients of these sanctions are airlines, travel agencies and about 30 Belarusian officials, whom the EU associates with the arrival of migrants, Borrel said.
In this situation, as always, innocent people suffer, among whom there are Yazidi families with children who have endured all the hardships and tribulations of the war and ethnic cleansing in 2014.
