Belarus’ leader Alyaksandr Lukashenka said on Friday it is “absolutely possible” that troops at the Polish-Belarusian border have helped illegal immigrants into the European Union (EU), according to reports.
In an exclusive interview with the BBC, the authoritarian leader said that Belarusian troops know illegal immigrants are trying to reach Germany, adding that “maybe someone helped them,” but he denied the country had invited them to provoke a border crisis.
