The State Border Guard Service of Lithuania did not record a single attempt to illegally cross the border from the Belarusian side (the day before - 39).

With reference to colleagues from the State Border Guard of Latvia, the Lithuanian agency reported that 14 attempts to illegally cross the Belarusian-Latvian border were warned the previous day (21 the day before).

According to information from the Polish Border Guard, 81 foreigners from Egypt, Syria and Iraq tried to cross the border illegally from Belarus over the past day (92 the day before).

Five people, including from Ukraine, Poland and Belarus, were detained for facilitating migration.

Since the beginning of 2023, 5,751 attempts of illegal penetration into the EZ from the Belarusian territory have been recorded (4,166 to Poland, 1,068 to Latvia, 517 to Lithuania).

• The migration crisis on the border between Belarus and the EU countries began in the spring of 2021.

  At first, Lithuania experienced a multiple increase in the number of illegal migrants.

  After Vilnius decided not to detain migrants, but to return them to Belarus, the flow of illegal immigrants was reoriented to Poland, and then to Latvia.

• Before the start of the war in Ukraine in February 2022, migration flows significantly decreased, but then increased again.

• The leadership of the Baltic states and Poland assigned the responsibility for the migration crisis at the border to the Belarusian authorities, who in response called the actions of the West in the countries from which the migrants arrive as the cause of the crisis.
