Following a discussion between the two, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson informed his Polish colleague Mateusz Morawiecki that Britain stands “shoulder to shoulder” with Poland in the face of border dangers.

Poland is in the forefront of a migration crisis that the European Union believes is being orchestrated by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko.

“The presidents also addressed expanding our defense alliance and collaborating closely with NATO to guarantee regional security,” according to Johnson’s spokeswoman.
