Poland is seeking to draw NATO into its border crisis with Belarus. Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki told the Polish Press Agency (PAP) yesterday that Poland is in consultations with Lithuania and Latvia about invoking Article 4 of the NATO Treaty. “It seems that it is needed more and more. It is not enough to publicly express our concern. Now concrete steps and the commitment of the whole alliance are needed,” Morawiecki said.
“There is no doubt that the matter has gone too far,” Morawiecki explained. “We already know that in order to stop the Belarusian regime, words alone are insufficient. We are aware that stronger sanctions will be necessary. In the current situation, I am talking every day with the leaders of European countries on the matter of the crisis on the Belarusian border. We are working very closely with the prime ministers of Lithuania and Latvia.”
