Britain will deploy more troops to Poland’s border with Belarus to help tackle the migrant crisis, which Western governments say has been orchestrated by the Lukashenka regime, British media have reported.
Thousands of illegal immigrants, mostly from Iraq and Afghanistan, have gathered on the Poland–Belarus border in hopes of crossing into the European Union. The EU has accused Minsk of orchestrating the crisis to put pressure on the bloc in an act of revenge for sanctions over a clampdown on Belarusian protests in 2020 against the contested reelection of President Alyaksandr Lukashenka.
