The West is using the migration crisis on the Belarusian-Polish border to put pressure on Minsk, Russian President Vladimir Putin said.

"Besides, one cannot help but see that the Western countries are using the migration crisis on the Belarusian-Polish border as a new reason for tension in a region close to us, for putting pressure on Minsk," he said at a Russian Foreign Ministry board meeting on Thursday.
