Germany offers to help migrants on Belarus- Poland border

BERLIN, 11 November 2021, (TON): The spokesman for the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Federal Republic of Germany Steve Alter said “Germany is ready to provide humanitarian support to migrants who are on the border of Belarus with Poland.”

He recalled that Germany also offered Poland its assistance in the fight against the crisis, “this offer remains in force,” since Warsaw has not yet requested this support.

He also explained that humanitarian support should be organized by the European Commission, and not by individual countries.

Alter said at a briefing “Germany is ready to contribute to the provision of humanitarian assistance to people who are on the border with Poland.”

In turn, the official representative of the German Cabinet of Ministers Steffen Seibert recalled that Brussels is already dealing with this topic, including initiating contacts with the UN on this issue.

He also pointed out that such assistance is urgent, because “winter is coming, it gets colder, and the nights are even colder, they (migrants) need to be helped with clothes and food.”

Meanwhile, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that you cannot shift the blame for the migration crisis to Belarus, it was caused by the military incursions of the West in the Middle East.
