Belarusian side provides food and supports trade, unlike West or international organizations

Belarus does not want aggravation and confrontation amid the refugee crisis. The country is always open to the dialogue. The European Union seems to be in no hurry to make contact, despite the agreements reached in the conversation with Merkel. The situation shows that resolution of the refugee crisis is not in the interests of the West.

Belarus is getting ready to launch the second flight to return refugees to their homeland. Most of the migrants, nevertheless, strive to the countries of the European Union. The President assures that our side is ready to support them.
