Germany blames Belarus for migration crisis, pledges joint EU response

The Polish Ministry of Defense showed the aerial footage of a very large crowd of illegal migrants gathering at the border. The people are seen standing near the Bruzgi checkpoint on the Belarusian side and the Kuznitsa settlement on the Polish side. The agency posted the video from the helicopter on Twitter. According to the Belarusian border service, as many as 1,000 migrants have approached the Polish border. Some of them have already managed to overcome barbed wire obstacles to enter the territory of the European Union. Most of the people in the crows are standing near the fence, with Polish security forces in bulletproof vests and helmets lining up near the fence too. The head of the Polish Ministry of Defense, Mariusz Blaschak, said that as many as 12,000 soldiers were on duty at the border.
