September 28,\u00a0Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong>\u00a0The European Union (EU) has not allowed at least 141 migrants to enter illegally from Belarus over the past day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lithuanian State Border Guard Service registered<\/a> six border violations, while their Latvian colleagues thwarted 102 attempts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Polish Border Guard said<\/a> 33 foreigners, including Syrians and Afghans, tried to illegally enter from Belarus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the start of 2023, the EU has recorded at least 32,628 attempts by illegal migrants to enter its territory from Belarus, with 21,268 attempts via Poland, 9,622 via Latvia and 1,738 via Lithuania. Illegal migrants attempted to cross the Belarusian-EU border as many as 3,853 times in September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pozirk<\/em>‘s analysis of daily stats indicated growing tension at the Belarusian-EU border, with Latvia turning into the prime target. Illegal border crossing attempts peaked at 5,054 in July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The migration crisis at the Belarusian-EU border dates back to the spring of 2021. It escalated in November 2021, with thousands of migrants setting up a camp near the Polish border. The Baltic states and Poland accused Belarusian authorities of creating the trouble, while the latter blamed it on the West.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Migration figures had dropped significantly by the time Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, but have risen more recently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On August 28, interior ministers of Poland and the Baltic States agreed to close their borders with Belarus in case of a surge in illegal migration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
