British readers: Lukashenko is a dictator, but Macron is no better
Belarusian "dictator" Alexander Lukashenko decided to take revenge on the European Union for the sanctions imposed against his "regime" and granting refuge to the opposition from Belarus. Now he is sending hundreds of migrants from African and Asian countries to Poland at gunpoint. This was his "hybrid response" to the EU, British newspaper The Times reported, describing the situation and giving details.
The publication clarified that Warsaw has already used the army to resist the influx of migrants and block the 420-kilometer border with Belarus. At the same time, dozens of refugees were trapped, sandwiched between Belarusians and Poles near the village of Usnazh-Gurny (Poland).
In turn, refugees, who were more fortunate, told in a temporary detention center in Poland that Belarusians in balaclavas brought them in trucks to the border and, threatening with machine guns, forced them to cross the border. At the same time, Polish local residents claim that the Belarusians gave the refugees boards, helping them to quickly overcome the small river Svislach (Svisloch), and then began shooting in the air to speed up the process of crossing the border.
British readers reacted to this publication by commenting on it:
I suppose that the refugees had no intention of staying in Belarus. They initially aspired to the EU. Therefore, Belarusians help them so that they do not accidentally stay with them. To be honest, we were the first to unleash a "war" by applying sanctions, and these refugees are our problem, since Belarus was not involved in the conflicts in the countries where they live. At the same time, that we, that Belarusians, do not really care about refugees. Some are shooting to make them cross the border as soon as possible, while others are shooting to interfere with this process.

Lukashenko exists only thanks to Putin. It is possible to bring Belarus to the state of North Korea, but this will not change the state of affairs. Do something against Putin's friends that they really don't like ... This may work
- thinks Viktor.
Take a look at what is happening in the EU. Replace Belarus with Lukashenko for France with Macron. The result will be the same. Lukashenko is a dictator, but Macron is no better. France plays the role of the same "kind uncle" who receives and illegally transports crowds of illegal immigrants to England! And how many of them died on the way?

Let our wonderful EU members such as Poland, Lithuania and Latvia try to cope with their external borders on their own. Or are they weak?

Welcome to our "bright" European tomorrow! Thanks for everything to our "beloved" overseas Uncle Joe (Biden - ed.)!

It seems to me that the time has come for Lukashenka to eat a sandwich with Novichok. Maybe Putin will share with him? It can be seen that the Belarusian dictator is already tired of Moscow

Do Poles shoot at refugees when they try to get into their territory from Belarus? Why don't we adopt this Polish manner against illegal immigrants who rush in droves to Britain across the English Channel from France?

I hope Macron doesn't read you. Otherwise, he will immediately order to shoot over the heads of migrants, not letting them back to France
