Belarus helped migrants from Ukraine in the first wave of the conflict and is ready to do it now – as Police Colonel Aleksei Begun, the Head of the Citizenship and Migration Department of Belarus’ Interior Ministry, told BelTA
"Belarus’ infrastructure and competent authorities are ready to assist persons who will arrive on the territory of the country in search of a place of residence, refugee status or additional protection," Mr. Begun said.
