#Polyanskiy: Role in promoting a failed color revolution in #Belarus unites Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Ukraine, Poland. They have been working with #US & #EU on this project for many years, training protesters, investing money in them, creating sleeping cells, cultivating NGO’s. https://t.co/Gd4BGhgacO

#Polyanskiy: We are well aware of what is happening on the Belarus-#Poland border. There are people who came to #Belarus legally and want to enter #EU countries. But there have been many instances when Polish and Lithuanian border guards beat migrants and push them back into🇧🇾. https://t.co/XYUqQSrljJ

#Polyanskiy: There is no legitimate reason for #Belarus to send people who arrived to🇧🇾legally back to their states of origin. That would be a blatant violation of int conventions. #EU is trying to play a blame game. They want to portray🇧🇾 & even🇷🇺as perpetrators of the crisis. https://t.co/jlHCc0Ej2o

#Polyanskiy: Migrants come to #Belarus all the time. It is not like there was a sudden inflow of refugees to the border. Until this summer there was a readmission agreement between Belarus and the #EU, but it was scrapped after the EU imposed a new package of sanctions on Belarus https://t.co/3ovnm18Kk5

#Polyanskiy: When a similar crisis happened in the #Mediterranean several years ago, the #EU’s position was drastically different from its current stance. Evidently, we are talking about double standards here. #Belarus #Poland @mfa_russia https://t.co/4rJy63dOG7

#Polyanskiy: #Belarus is in contact with int organizations that deal with #migration issues, with🇺🇳agencies. There are no problems in their communication. This is how the crisis should be dealt with, unless someone wants to politicize it & use it to achieve their political goals. https://t.co/CbPfpBEPKr

#Polyanskiy on reports of 🇷🇺fighter jets flying over #Belarus: We have our obligations as part of the Russia-Belarus union and within #CSTO. So if there is a military build-up on the 🇧🇾border, we have to react. These are just reconnaissance flights. We are not breaking any rules. https://t.co/mVCSmaME8A

#Polyanskiy on the #migrant crisis on the Poland-Belarus border: Our #European colleagues are trying to push the narrative that #Belarus is responsible for this crisis and that Belarus is using migrants as a weapon of war. https://t.co/ToE10cChT1 https://t.co/I0khtrKoz8

#Polyanskiy: We saw a surge in warmongering activities & accusations against🇷🇺of making a buildup on the border with #Ukraine; triggering energy crisis; working together w/#Belarus to promote the migrant crisis. These accusations were a part of the agenda of Western colleagues. https://t.co/tTkKakQJK6
