The Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs has recommended that its citizens immediately leave Belarus and refrain from traveling to the country, the Polish embassy in Minsk reported.
“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs recommends refraining from any travel to the Republic of Belarus and calls on Polish citizens currently in the Republic of Belarus to immediately leave its territory, using available commercial and private means“, the embassy's press service said.
These recommendations are issued due to the escalating situation on the border between the two countries.
Poland closed all previously operating border crossings with Belarus on the night of September 11-12. The decision was made on September 9 by Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, who linked the measure to the Belarusian-Russian military exercises “Zapad-2025“, which took place from September 12 to 16.
