MOSCOW, November 17. /TASS/. The use of riot gear by the Polish side against migrants on the border with Belarus is inhuman, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Wednesday.
“This concerns the life and health of people. They have been staying there for a while and did not arrive because of a good life and on top of that, they are soaked with water in cold weather. And these are women and children. They are also being gassed, threatened with the use of weapons and physical force,” the Russian diplomat said.
A campaign is being waged on migrants at the border to exert psychological pressure on them, the spokeswoman stressed.
“This relates to the use of loudspeakers, intimidation, a media campaign that does not provide an opportunity to directly address these people, to defend their positions. It is aimed solely at one thing: to justify the approaches and actions by these authorities that are using the inhuman measures that we see,” the Russian diplomat said…
