London [UK], November 11 (ANI/Sputnik): The escalation of the situation on the border of Belarus and Poland is another action of the Belarusian authorities to create a migration crisis in Europe, London and Ottawa said in a joint statement released by the UK Foreign Office.

"We are deeply concerned about the Belarusian regime's continued facilitation of migrants into and out of Belarus, and the serious escalation at Belarus' border with Poland. This is the latest in a series of abhorrent actions by the Lukashenko regime to engineer a migrant crisis in an attempt to undermine Poland and others in the region. It once again highlights the Belarusian regime's disregard for international norms," the statement says.
