MOTOLKO. HELP CONTINUES TO MONITOR THE SITUATION ON THE BELARUSIAN-POLISH BORDER, WHERE MIGRANTS ARE ON THEIR FIFTH DAY. ONLINE IS CONDUCTED IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER: THE LATEST NEWS WILL BE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE.

We recall that on Thursday night, migrants tried to break through the cordon of Polish border guards: they threw stones, tried to destroy the fence and attacked the soldier. During daylight hours, everything was calm. With the filing of the Belarusian security forces, migrants even held a rally at the border, where children apologized to Poland for the broken fence. The Polish side called it a game on emotions. Apparently, on Thursday a new group of migrants arrived at the border, who in the morning stood in the center of Minsk with stuff waiting for transport.
