This was reported by the Polish Border Service.
Illegal migrants tried to break through the border across the Pševločka River in the Białowieża district. The Polish border service noted that the migrants were very aggressive – they threw tree branches and stones at the patrols of the border guards and the Polish army.
During the incident, a dangerous tool made of wood and nails was taken from the foreigners.
“This attempt was successfully foiled. Migrants retreated back to the depths of Belarus,” the border guards said.
The situation on the border between Belarus and Poland
in 2021 After Belarus introduced sanctions for the falsification of presidential elections, suppression of the opposition and protests, a flow of migrants from the Middle East flowed to the EU border (Poland, Lithuania, Latvia).
Europe was convinced that Lukashenko’s regime deliberately caused the migration crisis (by increasing the number of flights from the Middle East) in order to take revenge. Minsk blamed the crisis on Europe, which allegedly opened its doors to migrants, including those from Taliban-ruled Afghanistan, but refused to accept them.
in 2021 in autumn, migrants staged attacks at the borders and threw stones at the border guards. Belarusian authorities brought them rubble in trucks and distributed gas canisters, Polish border guards were blinded with laser pointers and stroboscopes, and tried to destroy the border fence.
in 2021 at the end of the year, the intensity of the flow of illegal migrants decreased, but in 2022 In January, Poland decided to build a 186 km long and 5.5 m high wall on the border with Belarus.
