The migration crisis on the Belarusian-Polish border escalated in November. Several thousand refugees have accumulated there, striving to enter the EU through Belarusian territory. This week refugees have already tried to storm the Polish border several times, the military used water cannons and tear gas against them. Western countries believe that this situation was deliberately created by Minsk. Some also blame Russia.
