Watch ‘Weaponized Migration’ in Action: Hundreds Storm Polish Border From Belarus
14th April 2024
Coming from Russia-allied Belarus, hundreds of “very aggressive” migrants carrying ladders and wielding rocks and tree branches stormed the border of Poland on Wednesday, but were repelled by security forces. Belarus has long been accused of “weaponizing” migrants by encouraging them to travel to Belarus only so they can be pushed into Poland and Lithuania.
According to a statement issued by the Polish Border Guard and reporting by Babel, the onslaught took place around 10 am in a marshy area in the dense Bia?owie?a forest, which is a popular but difficult avenue for attempted crossings by migrants from around the world.
