Since November 8, the situation on the Belarusian-Polish border has deteriorated sharply due to the huge increase in migrants wishing to enter the territory of the European Union from Belarus.

Polish border guards do not allow migrants to enter their country. In turn, the Belarusian border guards stop the attempts of refugees to return back to Belarus.

Despite this situation, the flow of new migrants to Belarus does not stop.
