Britain is sending more troops to Poland and Lithuania to help the Eastern European countries tackle the illegal immigration crisis orchestrated by the Belarusian regime.

In a statement on Thursday, the UK’s Ministry of Defence (MoD) said: “Poland and Lithuania, along with their Baltic neighbour Latvia, have been under significant pressure from migration originating from Belarus and facilitated by the Lukashenko regime for a number of months.”
