Critics and environmentalists say the wall will fail to stop migrants, but will harm one of Europe’s last pristine woodlands.

“The Belarusian side is ready to do anything when it comes to provocations, so we have to be ready for any kind of event,” said Major Arkadiusz Tomaszewski, deputy commander of the Border Guard in Kuznica, where clashes with migrants and Belarusian security officers took place last year. During the 2015 EU refugee crisis, Hungary drew condemnation when it built a wall on its borders with Croatia and Serbia to block migration routes.

An iron curtain

Well done! Keep jihad out ☘️

maid_mercian Hilarious to see the Irish Fortress Europe comments on here-if the Irish diaspora was kicked out of all the host countries where it settled-you wouldn't be able to move in Ireland today. A prospect even more scary than reunification for this crowd! Double standards or what?

Great news 👏

Good. There's a legal crossing just around the corner.

I'm in favour of Poland leaving the EU.

👏👏

Nobody wants to live in a country with dark skin. ONLY whites are condemned for this reluctance. WhiteGenocide

More barriers to peace.

Good on Poland

Fair play to them, it’s good to see a government who aren’t spineless neo liberals

Europe needs one stop a fecking lot of em well done Poland
