Share:NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg on Tuesday reassured Poland of the alliance’s solidarity amid the escalating migration crisis at its border with Belarus. “Belarus using migrants as (a) hybrid tactic is unacceptable,” Stoltenberg wrote on Twitter following his phone conversation with Polish President Andrzej Duda. “NATO stands in solidarity with Poland and all our allies in the region,” he added. Poland and the EU have accused Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko of seeking revenge for the bloc’s sanctions on his regime by inviting “tourists” from countries that are the main sources of migration to the EU. Both NATO and EU consider the Belarusian government’s approach towards migrants as a hybrid threat meant to destabilize and undermine security in European countries through non-military means.
