Russia Sends Migrants Into Europe Through Secret Tunnels
26th February 2026
Russia is sending migrants through underground tunnels from Belarus into Europe as part of its hybrid war on the West.
Belarus, a Russian puppet state led by dictator Alexander Lukashenko, has used specialists from the Middle East with “a high level of expertise” to design the tunnels, Polish officials have told The Telegraph.
The Great Escape-style tactic marks a new escalation in the Kremlin’s hybrid war on Europe, in which Minsk has tried to send tens of thousands of migrants across Poland’s eastern frontier.
