KYIV, Nov 15 – Russia is artificially organizing the migration crisis, actually using Belarus to create a new point of destabilization of the security situation in Eastern Europe, Deputy Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine (NSDC) Ruslan Demchenko said.

"The current leadership in Minsk, in unison with the Kremlin, according to customary tradition, is trying to blame the 'collective West' for the emergence of a massive flow of refugees in the direction of Poland, Lithuania and Latvia. Russia and Belarus constantly reproach the NATO states that it was their policy in the Middle East that led to the emergence of a wave of migration of citizens trying to illegally enter the EU," Demchenko said in an article published by Interfax-Ukraine.
