The Polish government has congratulated its officers deployed on the EU’s Eastern frontier after they repelled the “first wave” of migrants who threw rocks and allegedly even “stun grenades” in an attempt to breach the border Tuesday morning.
The European Union’s eastern frontier with Belarus at the Polish border town of Kuznica was the scene of violent clashes Tuesday morning after groups from the hundreds of migrants bussed there by the Belarusian government attempted to force their way across.
Seven Polish police officers and a soldier were reported injured, some seriously, after the skirmishes which saw migrants — many brought directly from Iraq and Afghanistan by air to Belarus by the regime in what has been called a “hybrid warfare” assault against the EU — throw rocks and even “stun grenades“.
