<p>President <strong>Putin </strong>said on Saturday that Russia has "nothing&nbsp;to do" with the migrant crisis at the Poland-Belarus border.</p>

<p>"Everybody is trying to make us responsible for something at every given opportunity," the <strong>Russian president</strong> lamented.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Putin added that Lukashenko hadn't spoken to him on the possibility of cutting <strong>gas supply </strong>to Europe while adding that "he didn't even hint".</p>

<p>The Russian president's comments come after <strong>Belarus </strong>and Russian troops conducted military drills with near Poland.</p>

<p>Belarus said the exercise was conducted due to the &nbsp;"build-up of<strong> military activity</strong>" near the border. &nbsp;Reports claimed two &nbsp;Russian paratroopers were killed during the exercise after their parachutes malfunctioned.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>EU</strong> has blamed Lukashenko for the migrant crisis as hundreds of people massed at the Polish&nbsp;border to gain entry into Europe as they were pushed back by Polish soldiers.</p>

<p>Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov had earlier blamed the EU for the migrant problem asserting that it was "Europeans' reluctance to demonstrate commitment to their European values".</p>

<p>Kremlin dismissed Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki comments who had said that&nbsp;Russia was behind the migrant crisis. The Kremlin said&nbsp;was "absolutely irresponsible" and "unacceptable".</p>
