Lukashenko to continue pointing migrants to EU

-

Belarus will continue to let migrants try to enter the European Union, President Alexander Lukashenko said, defying warnings of sanctions to deter the flow of people toward the bloc’s borders. ‘‘If you manage to get across – go,’’ Lukashenko told a group of migrants on Saturday outside a logistics hub near the Belarusian border with Poland that’s become a flashpoint between his regime and the EU, which has been blocking crossings. ‘‘We will do everything as you wish it, even if this is going to be bad for Poles, Latvians, and the rest.’’
