Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said war could not be ruled out in light of the tension between his country and Belarus over the migrant crisis.

Upon being asked by German newspaper BILD about the risk of war looming in light of a potential intervention of NATO allies, Morawiecki said, "We cannot rule out anything."

The Polish Prime Minister then proceeded to accuse Russian President Vladimir Putin and Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko of "obviously" pursuing a strategy to "unsettle and destabilize the West."

Morawiecki also made an outlandish accusation in which he claimed that the crisis on the border was just a "distraction" from "new military attacks in Ukraine" President Putin is preparing.

The Prime Minister criticized German Chancellor Angela Merkel over Berlin's refugee policy, saying it "endangers the sovereignty of many European states and creates artificial multiculturalism," "is dangerous for Europe and the world," and "does not comply with European law."

"We are defending the whole of Europe at our border," Morawiecki asserted after alleging that Belarus was using migrants as a weapon.

Polish President Andrzej Duda had previously discussed with NATO chief Jans Stoltenberg the refugee crisis on his country's borders, asking NATO to bolster its defense in Eastern Europe.

The humanitarian crisis has sparked many international responses, with Russia offering aid on the issue.

Merkel had previously discussed humanitarian aid with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, and the latter asserted that he was ready to respond if Brussels fulfilled its pledges while affirming that he did not want the migrant crisis to escalate into a confrontation.
