On Monday, Lithuanian border guards barred 121 migrants from illegally crossing the Belarus-EU border. Over the past week, their Polish counterparts have been reporting over 500 prevented attempts to illegally cross the border per day.

“The Lukashenka’s regime cynically used migrants and refugees this summer to artificially pressure our eastern borders.”

Lithuania is going to put transit of Belaruskali’s potash fertilizers to complete halt in December, when US sanctions come into force, Lithuanian Transport Minister Marius Skuodis told the news portal 15min.lt.

The scale of the hybrid aggression waged by the Belarusian authorities is increasing, which results in the growth of the flow of irregular migration, the Lithuanian side says.

The barbed wire doesn’t stop migrants, but it detains them.

Since the beginning of 2021, over 2,000 migrants have been detained at the Lithuanian-Belarusian border. These are citizens of, among others, Iraq, Congo, Cameroon, Guinea, Iran, who are brought to the neutral zone on the direct instructions of Alyaksandr Lukashenka.

Over the last 24 hours, 57 illegal migrants were detained at the border with Belarus.

Lithuania calls for new sanctions against Lukashenka regime over its contributing to irregular migration to the European Union.
