Belarus on Friday condemned as "catastrophic" a decision by Poland to close a border checkpoint between the two countries, saying it could lead to a collapse on both sides of the border.
Poland said on Thursday, citing security concerns, it would close a key border crossing into Belarus at Bobrowniki, starting at 12 p.m. (1100 GMT) on Friday, driving already hostile relations between the two countries to a new low.

"We are not excluding closing other border crossings with Belarus," he told a news conference in Brussels. "The reason for this is that there are growing tensions with Belarus and they are being instrumentalised by the Russians and the Kremlin."

This catastrophic more for Russia which depends on Poland-Belarus trade movement for smuggling critical war material into Russia.
Closing this border hurts Russia and it’s a year overdue.

That’s kind of hash. They can close a border. Something the US can’t seem to do.
You should learn how to close border.
Belarus is a security threat and Poland has every right in the world to close their border.
And you have to wonder what we are not being told about Belarus actions within
Poland. Because this action did not take place in a vacuum.
