Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the absence of migration flows through Russian territory in the direction of Europe. He also expressed the hope that this will not happen in the future.

Putin also noted that he was worried about the migration crisis on the Polish-Belarusian border. He urged to pay attention to how Poland acts in the current situation. In particular, Putin stressed that the Polish side adds herbicides to the water that is watered to migrants.
“Well, you can’t water people not only with water, but also knead herbicides and pesticides into this water in order to cause burns and other serious consequences for these migrants, including women and young children,” the Russian leader said. , adding that “this does not at all fit with the principles of humane treatment of migrants.”
Let us remind you that the migration crisis has been continuing on the Polish-Belarusian border since the beginning of November. Thousands of refugees from the Middle East approached the barriers at the border and tried to enter the territory of the European Union. The Polish security forces had to use additional forces to contain their pressure. The European Union accused the official Minsk of aggravating the situation with migrants.
Against the background of these events, the Russian Red Cross began raising funds to provide assistance to the Belarusian Red Cross in connection with the migration crisis.
