We remind that a migration crisis broke out at the border of Belarus and the European Union. For the fifth day, at least a thousand migrants have been in the border zone between Belarus and Poland. The European Union believes that the Belarusian authorities artificially organized the flow of refugees from the Middle East and call it a hybrid aggression designed to sow chaos on the eastern flank of NATO alliance.
