The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Poland recommends that citizens refrain from traveling to Belarus and urges those already there to leave the country. The message was published on the website of the Polish government.
The ministry explained its call by the growing tensions in the region, the ongoing war and “repeated arbitrary arrests” of Polish citizens in Belarus.
“ In the event of a sharp deterioration in the security situation, border closures or other unforeseen circumstances, evacuation may be much more difficult or even impossible,” Poland emphasized.
Poles who remain in Belarus are urged to leave the country immediately using available commercial and private means.
