These tensions stem from an ongoing border crisis, in which migrants are being systematically pressured, in part by Belarusian officials, to enter Europe through Belarus\u2019s border with Poland and Lithuania. According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-europe-59231136\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">BBC News<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">videos of migrants and Belarusian soldiers hacking at barbed wire fences and using tree limbs as battering rams have <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">spread<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in western media outlets, drawing attention and criticism from members of the international community regarding Lukashenko\u2019s apparent weaponization of a humanitarian crisis. Meanwhile, Poland has been reinforcing their border with barbed wire fencing to slow the flow of migrants.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tensions on the border have only grown more hostile, according to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/europe\/poland-accuses-belarus-more-border-provocations-amid-migrant-crisis-2021-11-05\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Reuters<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, with <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">clashes<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> between Belarusian soldiers, migrants, and Polish soldiers deployed at the border area worsening each day. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/poland-says-belarus-fully-controls-migrants-after-attempted-breach\/a-59753059\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Deutsche Welle<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> reports that at least 3,000 migrants are currently waiting at the border area near Kuznica, where extreme cold and lack of food are making the situation ever more dire.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In response to the crisis, Turkey has blocked Syrian, Iraqi, and Yemeni passport-holders from travelling by air to Belarus to limit the number of people flooding toward the border. Flight is the most common method of passage to Belarus, after which migrants typically will pay for transportation to the border and attempt to cross into Western Europe. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/how-belarus-became-gateway-eu-middle-east-migrants-2021-11-09\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Reuters<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> reports that travel agencies in the Middle East, working in tandem with Belarusian consulates to secure visas for migrants, have been instrumental in the large influx of migrants arriving in Minsk since spring of this year.

While Russia has largely expressed tacit support of Belarus\u2019 government, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/11\/12\/world\/europe\/lukashenko-putin-belarus-russia.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The New York Times<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> reports that Belarus\u2019 threats of cutting of gas supplies as a further measure toward Europe were met with stern condemnation by Putin, who experts agree will not want to see this issue morph into a crisis out of his control.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Belarus has responded to criticism by consistently defending their actions and attempting to deflect the blame to Poland. According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/poland-says-belarus-fully-controls-migrants-after-attempted-breach\/a-59753059\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Deutsche Welle<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, Belarusian officials are accusing Poland of instigating the crisis by using tear gas and showing \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">indifference and inhumane attitude[s]\u201d towards the migrants. Belarus believes that Poland should admit the migrants and allow their asylum applications to commence instead of turning them away at the border outright, but Polish officials, aware of the political rationale of Belarus spurring the influx, have stood firm in their policies. The risk of hostilities breaking out between Polish and Belarusian troops is a major cause for concern for both sides. Poland\u2019s border is, in effect, the external order of both the EU and NATO and, as such, maintaining peaceful security is paramount.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Belarus has come under fire from the European community for what is seen as an orchestrated attempt to destabilize Poland and Lithuania and pressure the EU to relax sanctions on President Aleksandr Lukashenko\u2019s regime in Belarus.
