Zelensky in Europe will not help resolve the migration crisis
Ukraine can help resolve the situation with migrants on the Belarusian-Polish border. The proposal was presented by Nils Schmidt, spokesman for the foreign policy of the Social Democratic Party of Germany. In his opinion, Kiev could accommodate migrants as long as asylum proceedings are taking place in Europe. In Ukraine itself, however, the optimism of German politics is not shared, and the border guards have already begun to strengthen the common border with Belarus.

“I don't think Ukraine will agree with such a scenario, although this is not the first time European politicians have expressed such an idea,” said MK Ruslan Bortnik, director of the Ukrainian Institute for Policy Analysis and Management. – Already during the crisis with Syrian migrants, the idea of setting up refugee camps on Ukrainian territory was voiced. This is an extremely toxic issue for the Ukrainian authorities, as Ukrainian society does not support the large reception of any refugees from disadvantaged countries in Africa or Asia. Although we understand that the probability of such a development exists. Some of the refugees now in Belarus could potentially enter Ukraine. For example, they can be told that Germany exists and points to Ukraine. They will go and try to go further west. ”
The situation on the Belarus-Poland border was discussed today by the National Security Council (NSDC) of Ukraine. However, it has not yet been announced what conclusion they have finally reached. Earlier, the former head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, Pavel Klimkin, expressed concern that migrant flows could go to Ukraine. He admitted that migrants would bring charter flights to Minsk and that Russia would try to accuse Ukraine of inhuman treatment of refugees, “pushing for visa-free travel with the European Union.”
Yevgeny Jenin's interior states that Kiev has already begun to strengthen the border with Belarus. There are other military equipment and drones.
Political scientist Rostislav Ischenko is sure that Germany or any other country can try to send migrants anywhere, but until they agree with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, the idea will not be possible. “Lukashenko has not organized a crisis at the border to take and send migrants to Ukraine. German politicians can offer anything. They are concerned about the situation and need to somehow resolve this crisis, but in order to send them to Ukraine, they must first reach an agreement with Lukashenko. And he doesn't want to negotiate with them, “the expert emphasized.
According to him, the migrants themselves will not go to the Ukrainian border because they came to Germany and paid for it. … “In any case, where is Ukraine and where is the Polish border? It is necessary for the Belarusians to let them back through their territory and take them to the border with Ukraine, and they will let them in. This means that you must first agree with Lukashenko, then with Ukraine and then move the migrants … Will we then send them to the moon at all? There is no need to negotiate with anyone. “
