The migration crisis at the & nbsp; border escalated in & nbsp; November due to the & nbsp; influx of migrants who want to get to & nbsp; Europe through & nbsp; Minsk. President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko believes that the & nbsp; & nbsp; crisis was caused by the sanctions and & nbsp; the EU's refusal to build camps for & nbsp; refugees. The EU & nbsp; believes that the & nbsp; Belarusian authorities are involved in the & nbsp; illegal transportation of people from & nbsp; Middle East countries.
