The Border Committee of Belarus: the number of migrants detained by border guards is estimated at thousands … According to him, there have been about 13 thousand such incidents since August 2021. The words of the border guard are reported by BELTA.
Since August 1, about 8,000 people have not been allowed into the territory of Belarus, another 5,000 were detained and deported from the country as a result of checks by the migration service, a representative of the border committee reported.
“But these are potential migrants. And these are concrete, documented facts, “Bychkovsky believes.
The Belarusian border committee cited these figures in response to Poland's accusations against the Belarusian security forces. Warsaw calls them involved in organizing the migration crisis. Bychkovsky considered the accusations “strange”.
Earlier in Poland they decided to build a wall to protect against migrants from the territory of Belarus. Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of Poland Maciej Wonsik announced plans for a radical solution to the issue of illegal migration.
