Belarus actually moves illegal migrants to Europe. With this statement, Telegram channel NEXTA spoke.
It is argued that the authorities of the republic do not impede the illegal crossing of the border. Because of this, almost 300 migrants, most of which are the natives of Iraq, tried to get to Lithuania from Belarus already in 2021. NEXTA reminds that Lithuania even intends to build a tent camp to accommodate all illegal immigrants: there are so many of them that there is no place left in the refugee center.
Telegram Channel accused the Belarusian authorities in “helping” to illegal migrants on the basis of other data. So, on May 10, the Iraqi airline Fly Baghdad began to perform direct regular flights to Minsk twice a week. NEXTA claims that reports of the influx of migrants in Lithuania have been received by May 11.
with the same opinion was the head of the National Security Committee and Defense of the Lithuanian Seimas Laurinas Kaschyunas. According to him, Minsk contributes to the influx in Lithuania illegal migrants. Kaschyunas called Lithuania target for the Belarusian authorities.
At the end of May, the President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, threatened the West to weaken the control over drug trafficking and illegal migration due to the pressure on Minsk after the incident with the Ryanair aircraft. “We stopped drugs and migrants, now you will have themselves and catch them,” he said.
