Diplomatic figure from Ukraine, who once represented the country in Belarus, asserts significant setback for Lukashenko
In a significant move, Poland has closed its border with Belarus, a decision that is being viewed as a response by the European Union (EU). This border closure comes before the "Zapad-2025" exercises, blocking the overland corridor for Chinese goods heading to Europe.
The decision has sparked controversy, with high-ranking Chinese officials arriving in Belarus to address the situation. However, the name of the high Chinese official who made the trip remains undisclosed in the provided search results.
This move by Poland is a serious step, considered a significant blow to Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko. The European Union, meanwhile, is demonstrating increasing independence from American policy in relation to Belarus, with Brussels not stopping the Poles in their border closure decision.
Warsaw is demanding that Lukashenko stop hybrid attacks and release political prisoners. Igor Kizim, former Ukrainian ambassador to Minsk, commented on the Polish decision, stating that it could potentially lead to a more independent Belarus.
Belarus, once a key transit country for Chinese and Russian goods to Europe after 2014, finds itself in a precarious position. Chinese officials view Belarus' failure to fulfill its mission as a transit country for Chinese goods as a betrayal of its partners.
The EU's steps to lift sanctions on Belarus, however, depend on Europe, not on promises made by former US President Trump. The article on this developing situation is available on Charter97.org and can be followed on various social media platforms including Facebook, YouTube, X.com, VKontakte, OK.ru, Instagram, RSS, and Telegram.
