Zitat:Poland warns escalating border crisis with Belarus could last "months"https://www.cbsnews.com/news/belarus-pol...ia-europe/

Defense Minister Mariusz Blaszczak warned that the standoff between Poland and Belarus, in which thousands of migrants and refugees are caught in the middle, could last months. [...] Polish forces — about 15,000 of whom have been deployed to secure the border — unleashed tear gas and water cannons on migrants who tried to breach the fence on Tuesday. It was some of the worst violence along the border in recent weeks. [...]
Polish police firing water cannons, volleys of tear gas and a hail of rubber bullets sent refugees running in retreat on Tuesday. Poland's harsh response has compounded the suffering of the most vulnerable among the thousands of people who've been camped out in woodland, living in medieval conditions in sub-freezing temperatures. [...] The area is teeming with as many as 20,000 security forces, all ready to turn back anybody who tries to get in, from either side.
