(27 Apr 2015) Russian bikers belonging to the Night Wolves biker group loyal to President Vladimir Putin tried to enter Poland on Monday across the Belarus border, part of their attempt to complete a World War II memorial ride across eastern Europe.
Polish authorities said last week they would ban entry to the Night Wolves, calling their plans to ride through Poland en route to commemorations of World War II a provocation.
The group vowed to enter anyway and 15 were seen on Monday morning at the border crossing in Terespol, Poland, which lies on the border opposite Brest in Belarus.
They were allowed to go on by Belarusian guards but it wasn’t clear what happened after that.
Poles are extremely critical of Russian actions in Ukraine and are disturbed that the Night Wolves have rallied against the Ukrainian government and celebrated Russia’s annexation of Crimea.
