NEW YORK, Nov 12 ― European countries and the US condemned Belarus yesterday over a crisis that has seen hundreds of migrants trapped on its border with Poland, after an emergency meeting at the UN Security Council on the tense standoff between Minsk and the EU.
Minsk is aiming at “destabilising neighbouring countries and the European Union's external border and diverting attention away from its own increasing human rights violations,” they said in a joint statement. The bloc severed contacts with Lukashenko and imposed sanctions after a heavy crackdown on the opposition following a disputed presidential election last year.The EU is expected to decide next week to impose new sanctions on Belarus for human trafficking because of the migrant crisis.
“It would be more harmful for him, for Belarus, than for the European Union and I can suppose it's bluffing,” Tikhanovskaya, who fled Belarus after claiming victory in last year's vote, told AFP in Berlin.
