September 16, Pozirk.<\/em><\/strong> Poland will not open its border with Belarus when the Russian-Belarusian Zapad-2025 drill draws to a close on September 16, the Polish interior ministry has said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Polish-Belarusian border will remain closed until further notice due to concerns over the safety of Polish citizens, it noted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warsaw will restore cross-border traffic once security services confirm the border\u2019s safety, according to the statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poland closed all checkpoints on the shared border with Belarus on September 12, citing risks posed by Zapad-2025 that started on that day. Earlier, Polish Interior Minister Marcin Kierwi\u0144ski said Warsaw would reopen the border when officials are fully confident that Belarus does not pose a direct threat to Poland or its citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, Belarusians can enter the European Union only via two border crossings operated by Lithuania and one by Latvia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
