    Exactly. Poland itself is pretty damn far-right, and while they might be helping Ukraine and Ukrainians, this doesn’t mean their government is not borderline fascist. Someone else below (@TimeNaan@lemmy.world) provided this link documenting some severe human rights abuses against lots of migrants (some of these are also from the Belarus side too, it’s not just Poland).

    Any situation in which a state denies access to people watching for such abuses - like this - is one that sends immediate and severe warning signs to me. Combined with the other stuff going on around LGBT+ free zones, well, it’s worrying imo >.<

    Some of this stuff is even worse than what I’ve heard of the US/Mexico border, though it’s all pretty horrific.

      Thank you. It’s nice to see someone who can see through the bias. Human rights are for everyone, not just EU residents.
