Poland to close border with Belarus from Thursday midnight due to Zapad exercises, says PM
Poland will close its border with Belarus in connection with the Zapad military exercises from Thursday midnight, the Prime Minister Donald Tusk told a press conference.
"On Friday, Russian-Belarusian military exercises, which are very aggressive from a military doctrine perspective, will begin in Belarus, very close to the Polish border. This has various consequences, including a response in the form of exercises on our side, by the Polish army and allied forces," Tusk said.
"(...)Therefore, for reasons of national security, we will close the border with Belarus, including railway crossings, in connection with the Zapad manoeuvres at midnight on Thursday, from Thursday to Friday," he added.
