#Polyanskiy: Role in promoting a failed color revolution in #Belarus unites Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Ukraine, Poland. They have been working with #US & #EU on this project for many years, training protesters, investing money in them, creating sleeping cells, cultivating NGO’s. https://t.co/Gd4BGhgacO
#Polyanskiy: We are well aware of what is happening on the Belarus-#Poland border. There are people who came to #Belarus legally and want to enter #EU countries. But there have been many instances when Polish and Lithuanian border guards beat migrants and push them back into🇧🇾. https://t.co/XYUqQSrljJ
#Polyanskiy: There is no legitimate reason for #Belarus to send people who arrived to🇧🇾legally back to their states of origin. That would be a blatant violation of int conventions. #EU is trying to play a blame game. They want to portray🇧🇾 & even🇷🇺as perpetrators of the crisis. https://t.co/jlHCc0Ej2o
#Polyanskiy on #migrant crisis on Poland-Belarus border: It’s not the first time that #EU is faced with such a crisis. One should be mindful of the reason why these people are fleeing their home countries, who was responsible for the crisis & what states destroyed their homelands https://t.co/aNQs7zZHlu
#Polyanskiy: Migrants come to #Belarus all the time. It is not like there was a sudden inflow of refugees to the border. Until this summer there was a readmission agreement between Belarus and the #EU, but it was scrapped after the EU imposed a new package of sanctions on Belarus https://t.co/3ovnm18Kk5
#Polyanskiy: When a similar crisis happened in the #Mediterranean several years ago, the #EU’s position was drastically different from its current stance. Evidently, we are talking about double standards here. #Belarus #Poland @mfa_russia https://t.co/4rJy63dOG7
