Belarus has been accused of launching a “hybrid attack” on the bloc using migrants as revenge for previous sanctions. Minsk termed fresh sanctions "absurd".
Calling for a de-escalation, aid agencies say that at least 10 migrants have died on the Poland-Belarus border so far as temperatures drop below freezing.
The EU Commission said it is not intimidated by Belarus threats to stop gas transit from Russia to the EU.
The EU has accused Belarus’s President Alexander Lukashenko of luring migrants from the Middle East to his country only to send them across the border, in retaliation for European sanctions. Minsk denies the claim.
