Poland mulling triggering NATO Art. 4

According to unofficial information obtained by PAP, a meeting of Polish officials is planned for Tuesday at which the possibility of triggering Nato's Article 4 will likely be discussed.

The meeting is to be attended by the president, Andrzej Duda, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and the defence and interior ministers as well as officials of the foreign ministry, armed forces, police, Border Guard and other services.

Nato's Article 4 provides for joint consultations should a member state consider its territorial integrity, political independence or security to be under threat.

Poland, Lithuania and Latvia have been tackling an escalating migration crisis at their borders with Belarus in recent months, accusing Minsk's Alexander Lukashenko regime of engineering the crisis to destabilise the EU in retaliation for sanctions imposed by Brussels.

"The triggering of Article 4 of the North Atlantic Treaty and consideration of the matter are closely related to the situation on the border," a source close to the Polish President's Office told PAP. "I assume there will be discussion of that."

On Sunday, Morawiecki told PAP in an interview that the prime ministers of Lithuania and Latvia were considering activating Nato's Article 4.

Migrants have to be flown to Belarus. There is no other way. But air travel is quite easy to control, plus where did these “desperate” people got the money for ticket?
So Lukashenko is just flying migrants to Belarus. Then, he should keep them there!

That’s quite right. Lukashenko is intentionally creating a humanitarian crisis for the bordering countries as retaliation for sanctions imposed by the EU. Chess game in progress.
