Poland plans to close border zone with Belarus due to migration pressure

The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Poland

The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Poland is proposing to close the border zone with Belarus for several months due to increasing migration pressure. According to the document, access to several districts of the Podlaskie Voivodeship, which border Belarus, is planned to be restricted.

Reason for Closure

The reason for this decision is the increasing attacks on soldiers, police officers, and border guards who protect the state border. Such attacks, according to the department, are carried out by Belarusian state services.

Ensuring Security

The measure is also aimed at ensuring the security of Polish border guards and protecting them from possible threats from third parties.
