Poland on Monday accused Belarus’ and Russia’s secret services of organizing an influx of migrants into the European Union through the Polish border. In 2021, tens of thousands of migrants attempted to cross into Poland from neighboring Belarus. At the time, Western governments accused Minsk of orchestrating a “hybrid” attack, a charge denied by Belarus. Poland’s border guard called on the Polish Defense Ministry to deploy 1,000 additional troops on its border with Belarus. Minsk faces accusations that it is using migrants as a means of “hybrid warfare” against the EU. Are migrants a threat to EU security ?
