Night Wolves want to enter Poland regardless of entrance ban
The Russian bikers are not going to change their itinerary and will try to cross the Belarusian-Polish border.
The Russian bikers Night Wolves are planning to visit Poland and Germany regardless of the entrance ban, a representative of the club’s leader Alexander ‘Surgeon’ told Euroradio. They are still hoping to reach Berlin because the participants of the trip have not received their visas as a group.
There is no backup plan prepared in case the Night Wolves are forbidden to cross the Polish border, he said: “There is no backup plan. If they do not let us enter, we will make decisions based on common sense.”
The Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent a diplomatic note to the Russian Embassy to Warsaw on April 24. Russia was informed about the fact that the Night Wolves had been forbidden to enter Poland due to ‘the absence of exact information about the group’s schedule in Poland’.
Germany also annulled the visas given to the Russian bikers earlier.
The Night Wolves were planning to celebrate the anniversary of the WWII victory and ride across Russia, Belarus, Poland, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Austria and Germany – towards Berlin. The Polish authorities called the action a provocation. The Night Wolves actively participated in the Russian annexation of Crimea.
Some Belarusian opposition structures demanded that the Belarusian authorities forbade the Night Wolves to enter the country. However, the Night Wolves have permission top ride across Belarus, the club’s press secretary Anna Komarova told Euroradio.
