"We condemn the orchestrated instrumentalisation of human beings whose lives and well-being have been put in danger for political purposes by Belarus, with the objective of destabilising neighbouring countries and the European Union’s external border and diverting attention away from its own increasing human rights violations,” Estonian UN Ambassador Sven Jurgenson said on behalf of seven Western nations of the Council.
Jurgenson also called for a 'strong international reaction' to Minsk as tensions in the Belarusian-Polish border simmer, and said Belarus' pressure on the European Union will not succeed.
