Baltkrievijas autoritārā līdera Aleksandra Lukašenko režīma izvērstā hibrīduzbrukuma ietvaros aizvadīto mēnešu gaitā notikuši centieni Latvijā 🇱🇻, Lietuvā 🇱🇹 un Polijā 🇵🇱 no Baltkrievijas iesūtīt tūkstošiem nelegālo imigrantu, kuru lielākā daļa kā tūristi ieradušies Baltkrievijā no Irākas un citām valstīm. Kopš šīsnedēļas pirmdienas notiek masveida migrantu mēģinājumi no Baltkrievijas puses vardarbīgi ielauzties Polijas teritorijā. 🛫🛬🇧🇾🇪🇺 . Several thousand migrants have become stranded at the border, at the centre of an escalating international row. For months, the EU, and now Nato and the US, have accused Belarus's authoritarian leader of provoking a renewed migrant crisis in Europe. Ever-increasing numbers have headed to Belarus's borders with the EU. Alexander Lukashenko, who won a largely discredited election last year, denies luring would-be migrants - mostly from the Middle East - to the EU's borders in retaliation for sanctions imposed since he brutally cracked down on protesters and opponents. The situation has come to a head this week with repeated attempts to tear down the razor-wire fence erected on Poland's eastern frontier. German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said on Wednesday that the EU would not be blackmailed. He said the block would work to extend sanctions on Belarus: "We will sanction all those who participate in the targeted smuggling of migrants." The capital, Minsk, has regular flights from destinations across the Middle East, including Istanbul, Dubai, Damascus and Baghdad. Belarus state carrier Belavia has daily flights from Istanbul and also serves Beirut and Dubai. 🛫🛬🇧🇾🇪🇺 . . . #belarustravel #belarusnow #belarusborder #politicalcartoon #politicalcartoons https://www.instagram.com/p/CWKmy2PgeE0/?utm_medium=tumblr
