According to Maksim Ryzhenkov, the Polish authorities have been allocating a lot of funds to strengthen the country’s border. In his opinion, there is absolutely no need in fences, which even do not stop migrants.
“It is most likely that someone seeks to utilize such resources, to avoid constructive measures and solve issues by creating a new iron curtain. As our president says: when such huge amounts of money are allocated for unclear reasons, it is just a matter of time when another corruption scandal emerges,” the Belarusian minister of foreign affairs said.
