Belarus Training Migrants to Fight Europe’s Border Guards
18th March 2026
Belarus is training migrants to fight European border guards, the head of Latvia’s security service has said.
In an exclusive interview with The Telegraph, Normunds Mežviets said the migrants were being trained in combat at special camps and pushed across the European Union’s borders into Poland and the Baltic states.
Tens of thousands of migrants have been transported across the frontier in recent years as part of Russia’s escalating hybrid war with the West.
