The section of the Belarusian border with Poland, as well as Latvia and Lithuania, has been the focus of media attention since the spring of this year.
The situation began to change after an increased flow of refugees from Middle Eastern countries arriving at the border with the aim of crossing it and obtaining asylum in the territory of EU countries.
The exacerbation began this fall. At the moment, in a spontaneous refugee camp, Belarusian security forces have installed tents for food and heating, as well as the distribution of humanitarian aid.
