The crisis is worsening on the Polish-Belarus border

On Friday, in a post on Twitter border guards saidThat night, a group of migrants – citizens of Iraq – were arrested 500 meters from the border with Belarus.

“One of the men, although resuscitated by the patrol and ambulance team, died (possibly of a heart attack). Another person who tested positive for COVID-19 is in hospital” – reads the SG statement.

Belsat journalist Siarhey Pielasa TV commented on the increasingly difficult situation at the border.

Quota has been raised. We already have five deaths. All of them are on the Belarusian-Polish border. This proves that the crisis is aggravating on these borders – according to his estimation.

The remaining countries that were attacked by the wave of immigrants provoked by the Lukashenka regime are already less vulnerable to this attack. I mean Latvia and Lithuania. At first, this wave hit Lithuania, to a lesser extent Latvia, because the border is shorter, and only in third place – Poland -. As he emphasized, the Polish services have recorded an increase in the number of attempts to cross the border illegally in recent days, despite the significant drop in temperature.

The journalist also has no doubt that the crisis on the border is under the control of the Belarusian authorities. A few days ago, Alexander Lukashenko signed a decree allowing entry to Belarus without a visa for 30 days.

Viktor Lukashenka is sometimes cited as the person responsible for this situation. It is likely to be under the control of the KBG, which is traditionally associated with the border guard, as in the post-Soviet state.”

Since the beginning of September, border guards officers have registered more than 4,000 people. Attempts to enter Poland illegally from the territory of Belarus.

Among them were a citizen of Poland, Georgia and the Czech Republic, and two nationals of Iraq.
