Problems for Poland and Belarus

18-11-2021 07:00

The situation is bad on the border between Poland and Belarus. Many people want to leave Belarus. They have no jobs. They have nothing to eat.

They come to the border with Poland. Polish soldiers stop them. People sleep in tents. It is very cold at night. Several people die.

German activists help the people. They give them food and water. Then, Belarusian soldiers come. Some people say that the soldiers take their phones.

Alexander Lukashenko is the president of Belarus. The European Union says that he wants to make it less powerful. Lukashenko says that it is not true.

Difficult words: border (the line between two countries or areas), activist (a person who protests and does activities to change the government), powerful (strong).
