A team of about 50 broke through the Polish-Polish border Belarus On Saturday, Polish police said that as the border situation became more and more tense, he entered near the village of Starzyna.
Thousands of immigrants, many of them refugees, went to Belarus, hoping to enter the European Union, only to find themselves trapped at the border.
The European Union accused Minsk of planning the crisis and pressured the European Union over the sanctions imposed by Brussels, but Belarus has repeatedly denied this. Some countries in the region warned that the deadlock could escalate into a military conflict.
“Before 5 o’clock yesterday afternoon, about 50 people broke in Poland Near Starzyna,” the police said on Twitter.
A border guard spokesperson told the Polish National News Agency, the People’s Action Party, that all these people were captured by Polish uniformed service personnel and brought back to the border.
The Polish border defense agency stated that there were 223 illegal border crossing attempts on Saturday, and another “major attempt” is expected.
The police also stated that the helmet of a police officer serving at the border was damaged after being stoned.
Stanisław Żaryn, a spokesperson for the Polish security service, wrote on Twitter on Sunday that there were reports that trucks transported stones and rubble from Belarusian construction companies to areas near the border.
EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell (Josep Borrell) said that the EU foreign minister will expand sanctions on Belarus on Monday to include airlines and travel agencies believed to be involved in bringing migrants to the EU border.
Two diplomats said on Thursday that the European Union is considering imposing sanctions on Belarus’s main airports to make it more difficult for airlines to bring in immigrants.
Borel told French weekend newspaper Le Journal du Dimanche: “We will approve the expansion of the legal framework for sanctions against Belarus so that it applies to all people involved in the smuggling of migrants into the country.”
He added that executives of airlines and travel agencies may be hit by the EU travel ban and asset freeze. Borel said that about 30 Belarusian government officials believed to be involved in the crisis may also be targets of sanctions.
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has received international sanctions for suppressing the protests. He threatened to retaliate against any new measures, including shutting down gas transportation.
