Operation “Lock” – a crisis caused by Lukashenko
The migration crisis at the borders of Belarus with Poland, Lithuania and Latvia was caused by Alaksander Lukashenko, who is accused of waging a hybrid war. It involves the organized transfer of migrants on the territory of Poland, Lithuania and Latvia. In more than 28 years of his rule, Lukashenko has often threatened Europe with a weakening of borders.
The action of downloading migrants to Belarus from the Middle East or Africa, in order to cause a migration crisis, was described on his blog by a journalist of the Belarusian opposition channel Next Tadeusz Giczan. He explained that the Belarusian services in this way conducted the “lock” surgery 10 years ago. Under the guise of trips to Minsk, promising to move to Western Europe, Lukashenko's regime brought thousands of migrants to Belarus. Then he transports them to the borders of the EU countries, where Belarusian services force them to cross them illegally. This operation is still going on.
