Putin said that he had spoken with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko twice since the migrant crisis began but had initially learned about the crisis from media.
Tension between Belarus and Poland has increased recently. Warsaw criticized Minsk for allowing migrants to move freely to the border in response to the EU countries imposing political sanctions on Belarus. Belarus was denied this allegation.
