Belarus reverts to new weapon: illegal immigrants. NEWS 2021 08 07

The prime ministers of Poland and Lithuania, Mateusz Morawiecki and Ingrida Simonyte, in a joint statement, criticised the Belarusian strongman Alexandr Lukashenko’s regime for sponsoring illegal migration into Lithuania. The prime ministers stressed that the Belarusian regime's support of mounting illegal migration from its territory to Lithuania was a ploy in retaliation for the EU's recent sanctions on Belarus over human rights issues.

Mateusz Morawiecki and Ingrida Simonyte noted that the operation was part of a hybrid war launched by the Lukashenko regime against Lithuania and Poland, who supported the sanctions. "We condemn the Lukashenko regime’s use of illegal migration to exert pressure on the EU and its member states. This again shows the cynicism of the Belarusian regime," Morawiecki and Simonyte wrote.
They also appealed to EU institutions to take steps in the matter, and underlined that both Poland and Lithuania saw the need for "a fast and decided response to the activities of the Belarusian regime and all involved in organising and enabling the smuggling of illegal migrants". The flow of migrants from Belarus to Lithuania began in late May, so far, over 4,000 illegal migrants have reached Lithuanian territory.
