Poland asked NATO for help in resolving the migration crisis on the border with Belarus. The president of the Republic of Angey Duda appeared with the relevant statement, RIA Novosti reports.
“The Secretary General of NATO Jens Stoleberg asked me to stay on the hotline in the morning today, informing him constantly about the development of the situation, whether escalation begins there, which could serve as a basis for the North Atlantic Union,” said the Polish leader. He hoped that NATO’s forces would support Warsaw not military, but other available methods. Duda also thanked the Alliance for the willingness to help solve problems with migrants.
