Every now and then we come across different kinds of provocations from the regime, and in this case too we are dealing with a provocation. This is an attempt to respond to our sharp protest over the violation of Polish space by Belarusian helicopters a few weeks ago, the head of the Ministry of the Interior and Administration, Mariusz Kamiński, said on September 2.
The head of the Ministry of the Interior and Administration was asked in Chełm on September 2 about information about the Polish-Belarusian border crossing by the Polish MI-24 helicopter.
As far as our relations with Belarus are concerned, we are in great tension. Every now and then we face different kinds of provocations from the regime. Also in this case we are dealing with a provocation
Kaminski emphasized.
It seems like an attempt to respond to our very strong protest – at the political and diplomatic level – in the context of the violation of our space by Belarusian helicopters that took place a few weeks ago.
– said the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Administration.
He pointed out that the situation requires very close monitoring of what is happening in Belarus. He recalled that maneuvers with the participation of Russian troops are currently taking place there; also close to our border, close to Brest.
We have gathered great forces that will respond quickly and adequately to the situation
he assured.
He pointed out that, as he said, we also have huge political support. He said that he had recently met with the interior ministers of the Baltic States.
Lithuania and Latvia in particular, which have borders with Belarus, are facing the same problems. We were all empowered by our heads of state, our prime ministers, to joint actions and joint political declarations. If a serious incident occurs, a critical incident, all our countries will respond immediately – together and in solidarity
Kaminski added.
We are expanding this country block with Scandinavian countries. Soon we will have talks with the Finns, with the Norwegians who have a border with Russia, because this too is another problem. A next meeting in this international format is already planned
– said the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Administration.
Allies ready
He noted that in recent days he also spoke with the Coordinator of the US Secret Services, Avril Haines, former deputy chief of the CIA, a close associate of President Biden.
We exchanged current information about what was happening in Belarus, about the Wagner group, about possible provocations. Our allies are also prepared for possible negative scenarios
– he said.
We speak publicly about these matters for the regime to hear; let him know that the price for any provocation he will prepare will be high
– emphasized Mariusz Kaminski.
When asked if there would be an official response to the allegations from the Belarusian side, he replied that this was a matter for the Foreign Ministry and diplomatic procedures.
The Belarusian State Border Committee reported on September 1 that an Mi-24 helicopter belonging to the Polish Armed Forces allegedly violated Belarusian airspace. The machine would move at a “very low altitude”, penetrate the country’s territory for a distance of about 1,200 meters and then return to Poland.
The incident took place in the Brzostowice (district) region of the Grodno region
– reported the agencies Reuters and AFP, citing the statement of the Border Committee.
