Tensions in Europe have been on the rise for many years and the situation with migrants on the EU eastern border is just a part of the big picture, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, said on Telegram in response to comments by Lukasz Jasina, the Polish Foreign Ministry spokesman, who said that Russia is allegedly taking advantage of the crisis at the Polish-Belarusian border and is lying and twisting the facts, which heightens tensions in Europe.
"Let’s not pretend it started yesterday. The situation at the EU eastern border is just a part of the big picture. A failure to see it, to understand it and admit it - that’s what constitutes the twisting of facts and lying. Lying of the worst kind that can ever exist - lying to themselves,’’ she said.

There are many examples, the spokeswoman said. "The destruction of the Iraqi statehood, which happened due to the actions of the US administration and allied states, caused tectonic shifts in the region. The West-sponsored ‘’Arab spring,’’ the NATO campaign against Libya, the interference of the collective West in the affairs of Syria and the support of international terrorism there and, most importantly, the emergence of ISIS (the former name of the IS terrorist group, which is banned in Russia) on the ruins of the Iraqi state - all that has led to a mass exodus of refugees and migrants from that part of the world to Europe. And of course, the information campaigns that are founded on the humiliation of traditions and values of some peoples and cultures in favor of others," Zakharova said.

I’m growing tired of agreeing with Russia.
Nope, Soviet Russia contributed significantly to destabilization of the 'stans through the Reagan Administration.
Reagan's education of Russians worked so well that America had to take over Soviet destabilization duties.
I know. I put the sarcasm tag on the post.
I just love listen to the Russkies start some moralizing, hypocritical bs with us.
This has also been the line by Russkie bots online, repeating over and over again Poland deserves it because of Iraq and Afghanistan. I don’t think someone organic could come up with such a heaping pile of BS. It’s obviously a choice made by some propaganda department.
