【Latest News: Belarus Welcomes Poland's Reopening of Two Border Checkpoints】
On November 15, 2025, at Minsk time, Ruslan Varankov, a spokesperson for the Belarusian Foreign Ministry, stated in a statement:
Belarus has consistently called on its European neighbors to restore the previous border system for the benefit of ordinary citizens and to develop cross-border cooperation. In this context, we welcome the decision by the authorities of the Republic of Poland to resume two previously closed checkpoints on the Belarus-Poland border to facilitate the movement of people, vehicles, and goods. This decision will have a positive impact on cross-border trade first. This step demonstrates Poland's constructive attitude, primarily to meet the wishes of its own citizens.
Varankov emphasized:
We regret that Lithuania has not taken the same approach. Unfortunately, we have not observed the Lithuanian authorities taking similar actions; they continue to ignore the interests of their own citizens.
