Poland banned the Night Wolves rally dedicated to the 70 Victory Day in its territory

Official Warsaw has banned the Night Wolves biker group motobike. Recall that the leader of the Night Wolves, Alexander Zaldostanov ("Surgeon"), previously announced a motorcycle race dedicated to the 70 anniversary of the Victory, on the route Moscow-Minsk-Warsaw-Berlin. The official reason for the refusal of bikers to enter the territory of Poland was the “lack of an agreed route” and “lack of data on the places of overnight stay for the participants.”
The Polish side is quoted by the news agency TASS:
The reason for this decision was the lack of necessary, accurate information regarding the plan of the group's stay in Poland, the exact routes of travel and the indication of the places of lodging for the club members. These data were necessary to ensure proper safety of the runners and the relevant organization of the action.
Earlier it was reported that Germany also did not give consent to the “Night Wolves” motocross through its territory.
Not all Polish politicians approved the decision of the current authorities. For example, the deputy of the Sejm from the Union of Democratic Forces faction Tadeusz Ivinsky said that Russia in this case has the right to refuse to Polish bikers to travel across the territory of the Russian Federation within the framework of the Katyn motor rally.
