A record since the beginning of the year.
On May 20, Poland recorded a record activity of migrants on the border with Belarus since the beginning of the year.
According to the Polish Border Guard, illegals made almost 300 attempts to penetrate from the Belarusian territory over the past day (the exact data will be available on May 22).
According to "Pozirkam" analysis of the data of the border agency of the mentioned state, Poland has prevented 8.376 such attempts since the beginning of 2025 (if we consider that there were 300 of them on the previous day) - it's 41.2% less than in the same period of 2024, when there were 14.232.
Reminder, the migration crisis on the borders of Belarus with Poland and Lithuania emerged in the second half of 2021. Migrants from the Middle East and Africa flew to Belarus to illegally cross into the European Union. Polish and Lithuanian border guards have repeatedly testified that Belarusian border guards help migrants to cross the border. The actions of the Belarusian authorities in the West were regarded as a form of hybrid warfare.
The Baltic States and Poland consider it a revenge for Lukashenko's tough stance on repression against the Belarusian opposition and civil society. May 19, it became known that Lithuania sent a statement to the International Court of Justice about Belarus' violation of its obligations under the Protocol against the Smuggling of Migrants by Land, Sea and Air of November 15, 2000, supplementing the UN Convention against Transnational Organized Crime.
