In the regions near the border with Belarus, a state of emergency may be introduced in the event of an aggravation of the situation with migrants. This was announced by the Minister of Internal Affairs, Denys Monastyrskyi.
"The National Security Council has worked out various scenarios of actions, even providing for the introduction of a state of emergency in certain regions in the event of an aggravation of the situation on the border with Belarus," he said.
Monastyrsky noted that temporary structures will be built on the border if a quick response to the mass presence of migrants is needed.
According to him, preparatory work is now being carried out, deployment locations have been determined for border guards, national guardsmen and policemen. Cooperation with the national defense and public formations is being established.
The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs added that they do not plan to involve military personnel from the southern and eastern regions to protect the border with Belarus.
Let us remind you that the EU accuses the head of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, of transporting thousands of illegal migrants from the Middle East to the borders of Lithuania, Latvia, and Poland on his orders. All three countries have imposed a state of emergency, and Polish Defense Minister Mariusz Blaszczak considers the migration crisis "a dirty game by Lukashenko and the Kremlin."
