Poland Ready to Block Railway Traffic With Belarus

In addition, all automobile and pedestrian border crossings may be closed.

Poland is ready to block the railway traffic with Belarus, depriving it of transit, said the Minister of Internal Affairs and Administration of Poland Mariusz Kaminski on the air of the radio station RMF FM.

On Tuesday, Poland closed the Kuznica border crossing, near which a large number of migrants have accumulated.

"They (the Belarusian authorities - ed.) know very well that we can close the crossing points, as well as train traffic. Belarus is an important transit state," said Kaminski.

Answering the question that Belarus could lose transit in this case, including from China, he replied: "We know about it, think it over, take everything into account, and send appropriate signals to the regime to either end such actions or face complete isolation - not only political but also economic."
