January 9, Pozirk.<\/em><\/strong> Poland thwarted five attempts by undocumented migrants to enter the country outside the official checkpoints from Belarus on January 8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Latvia has not recorded any incidents for nine days, while Lithuania has not reported any irregular activity since January 7, according to Pozirk\u2019s<\/em> analysis of data from border guards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the start of the year, Lithuania reported 13 incidents; Latvia has not recorded a single irregular entry; and Poland prevented seven crossings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belarus\u2019 western neighbors reported 42,714 irregular entries in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The flow of people desperate to cross into the EU surged in spring 2021 after Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka, angered by EU sanctions, had indicated that Minsk would not prevent asylum seekers from Africa and Asia from using Belarus as a route to the EU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In June 2021, the Belarusian government suspended a readmission agreement with the EU in response to sanctions that followed the forced landing of a Ryanair flight in Minsk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Latvia, Lithuania and Poland call the migration crisis a \u201chybrid attack\u201d orchestrated by Minsk and Moscow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
