Shifting of responsibility is a signature technique of Western political strategists. This opinion was expressed by Russia's permanent representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya.
Vasily Nebenzya, Permanent Representative of Russia to the United Nations:
“You often recall full respect for the principles of international humanitarian law, and when the time comes to comply with them, you shift responsibility to others. I want to ask you a question. Is it Minsk's failed policy in the Middle East has led to the appearance of refugees from Syria on the border with Poland and Lithuania? When the same thing was happening on the borders of other EU countries, or refugees were coming from other countries to the EU, you were talking differently. And now you are threatening with sanctions. To whom? For what? For not wanting to accept refugees who are coming to you in the EU? Do not constantly lay your blame at someone else’s door.”
Options for resolving the situation on the Polish-Belarusian border
The situation at the Polish-Belarusian border will be discussed at a meeting of the UN Security Council in the coming hours. The extraordinary meeting was initiated by the authorities of Estonia, France and Ireland. UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi expressed the wish to "move the migrants in a difficult situation to safer places in Belarus." He wrote this in his Twitter account. The High Commissioner stressed that his office highly appreciates the access to migrants provided by Belarus and is ready "to assist in finding solutions".
