After the call ended, German government spokesman Sebet stated at a press conference that the call with White was "meaningful."
However, the German Foreign Ministry once again stated that Germany has no plans to accept refugees from the White-Poland border.
Recently, a large number of refugees have tried to enter Poland, Lithuania and other EU countries from Belarus, and eventually went to Western Europe. Most of them are from the Middle East.
Countries such as Poland have strengthened border control and strictly prevented illegal entry, resulting in a large number of immigrants stranded at the border.
Countries such as Poland accused Belarus of planning this crisis in retaliation for the sanctions imposed by the European Union on Belarus.
Belarus stated that sanctions have prevented Belarus from controlling the inflow of immigrants.
