The head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, called the influx of migrants to Poland and the Baltic states a “hybrid attack” by Moscow and Minsk.
She promised to take “all measures” to combat migration. “We see an influx of migrants into Poland, we previously saw an influx into Finland and the Baltic states.
I can say that this is a political action, a hybrid attack by Russia and Belarus,” TASS quotes the head of the European Commission. Von der Leyen announced this following the European summit. She also said that the EU is discussing emergency measures to protect the borders of countries neighboring Russia.
