The warning was emphatically broadcast by Poland's RMF24 radio station, underscoring its seriousness. Wroński explicitly stated that Belarus is "not a democratic country, and it is not a friendly country toward Poland," urging citizens to treat the advisory with the "utmost seriousness."
The core of the warning focuses on the potential for a rapidly changing security situation. The ministry cautioned that should tensions in the region escalate further, the window for a safe and organized departure could slam shut, making the evacuation of Polish citizens "extremely difficult or even impossible."
This urgent advisory reflects the heightened state of alert and frayed diplomatic ties between Poland, a NATO and EU member, and Belarus, a key Russian ally.
