    Poland, a fierce critic of veteran Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko, in February closed one of its key border crossings with Belarus, citing security concerns, a decision Minsk called "catastrophic".
    Strained ties between the two countries deteriorated sharply last year after Russia invaded Ukraine in what it called a "special military operation" and used Belarusian territory as a launch pad for the attack.
