It became known in which case the gas pipeline may be blocked by the Republic of Belarus.
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has threatened the European Union.
According to him, before imposing sanctions against Minsk, Brussels needs to think about how gas and cargo passing through the republic will be delivered to the Old World.
Commenting on Poland’s statements about the possible closure of borders, Lukashenko wondered what would happen when the border was closed through Belarus.
At the same time, he noted that Ukraine is also inaccessible for transit due to the closed border with Russia, and there are no roads through the Baltic countries.
“I just listened to these scoundrels who are generally headless”, – said Lukashenko.
He noted that he could close the border for Poland and Germany, since the Belarusian authorities do not intend to stop at anything in protecting their sovereignty.
Alexander Lukashenko reminded about the Yamal-Europe gas pipeline passing through Belarus with increased volumes of supplies.
“We are heating Europe, they are still threatening us that they will close the border”, – he was indignant.
Lukashenko wondered what would happen if Belarus blocked natural gas going to the European Union.
According to him, if additional sanctions are imposed, the republic will respond in the toughest way.
As topNews wrote, these days Belarus is going through a big migration crisis. The country was flooded with refugees from the Middle East.
Families with children and, as a rule, without money, have accumulated massively in the cities of the country, as well as on the Polish-Belarusian border.
Migrants hope to get to the EU countries and get asylum there.
