Poland urges its citizens to leave Belarus

The Polish Embassy in Minsk has urged its citizens to leave Belarus and recommended refraining from any travel to the country.

“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs calls on Polish citizens remaining in the Republic of Belarus to immediately leave its territory using available commercial and private means,” the embassy said on its website.

“The embassy reiterates that due to the worsening situation, the ongoing war in the region, and repeated arbitrary arrests of Polish citizens, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs advises against any travel to the Republic of Belarus,” the diplomats added.

“In the event of a sudden deterioration in security, border closures, or other unforeseen circumstances, evacuation may become significantly difficult or even impossible,” the embassy warned.
