On Wednesday, 10th November, Russia charged the European Union for the ongoing migrant crisis over the border between Belarus and Poland, alleging it of attempting to “strangle” Belarus with intentions to shut a portion of the border and requesting it to have a direct conversation with Minsk.
Since migrants from the Middle East, Afghanistan, and Africa are putting new efforts to enter Poland overnight, with the dispatch of the two strategic bomber planes to patrol Belarusian airspace, Moscow provided an additional sign of support for its ally Belarus.

Moscow Doubled Down the Support for Belarus
Moscow has increased its support by two times for Belarus and knocked the EU upon the migrant crisis, which, according to the claim by Brussels, has been manufactured by Belarus as retribution for EU approval upon the election and other issues related to human rights.

He said, “This is nothing other than further attempts to strangle Belarus.”
