closing borders

The authorities are considering the option of completely closing the border with Belarus due to the unprecedented migration crisis at the Belarusian-Polish border, Piotr Müller, spokesman for the Polish government, said on Wednesday.

On March 18, Russia will introduce temporary restrictions on the entry of foreign citizens to the Russian Federation, including citizens of the Republic of Belarus, to counter the further spread of COVID-19, the press service of the Russian government reported on Monday evening.
