"Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday blamed Western countries for using the migrant crisis at the Belarusian-Polish border to create tension in the region.
Speaking at the meeting with country's diplomats, Putin said he felt sorry for children strained at the border and accused the West of failing to fulfil its commitments in humanitarian fields.
The European Union has accused Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko of luring the migrants to the border to use them as pawns to destabilize the 27-nation bloc in retaliation for its sanctions on his authoritarian regime.
Belarus denies orchestrating the crisis, which has seen migrants entering the country since summer and then trying to cross into Poland, Lithuania and Latvia."
