Clashes between Polish forces and migrants on the border with Belarus

Polish security forces used tear gas and deployed water cannons to repel stone-throwing migrants trying to cross the border from Belarus, which has accused Poland of trying to "aggravate the situation". Around 4,000 migrants in total are camping, according to Polish border guards, in the cold and deteriorating conditions along this border. The day after a telephone interview with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko assured earlier today that he wanted to prevent the migration crisis from degenerating into "confrontation" with his European neighbors. Westerners accuse him of having orchestrated migratory movements from the Middle East to the eastern borders of the European Union since the summer, which he denies.
