Poland considers closing railway connection with Belarus

Poland may close its railway connection with Belarus, which could significantly affect the transportation of various goods, including Chinese products, Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of Poland Maciej Wasik said, Report informs via RBC-Ukraine.

He said that if Belarus "allows itself to extreme actions", both Poland and Lithuania might simultaneously close their borders with Belarus.

"And I hope that Latvia will join as well because Lithuanians should talk to Latvians about this to achieve complete isolation of Belarus," Wasik added.

"We understand that a large part of the trade, including Polish trade, goes this way, and Chinese trade too. I think the Chinese will have to send the right signal to Lukashenko (Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko - ed.) so that he does not take action, from which the country will suffer," he said.
