Poland completely closes its border with Belarus
Poland closed all border crossing points with Belarus at midnight from Thursday to Friday, TVN24 reported.
“This is connected with the Russian-Belarusian military exercises Zapad-2025," TVN24 reported.
"It seems that everyone who had doubts about this issue today clearly acknowledges that this was a decision adequate to the needs. I know that for some it will cost a lot, but safety comes first," TVN24 quotes Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk as saying on Thursday.
Head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Administration, Marcin Kierwinski, went to the border with Belarus. As explained by the ministry, the cessation of cross-border traffic is introduced in both directions and concerns motor vehicles and freight trains. The traffic ban will remain in effect until this decision is cancelled.
