At the same time, the right-wing Polish government is said to have deployed about 20,000 border police with the support of the Polish army on the border with Belarus; This is unprecedented since the Cold War.
A large group of asylum seekers from Asian and African countries has crossed the Belarusian-Polish border, the Belarussian State Border Committee reported.
The committee said that the situation of asylum seekers on the Belarusian-Polish border was still extremely tense, adding that more than 2,000 asylum seekers, including a significant number of women and children, had stopped at Polish border barriers.

The “Brozgi” refugee camp on the Polish-Belarusian border is gradually becoming a full-fledged camp with desert infrastructure. Large tents and power generators have been set up alongside hand-made capers, and a media frontier has even been created for journalists. Immigrants are still hoping to enter Europe, but Poland, on the other hand, has blocked them with strict measures and is unwilling to back down from its stance on banning asylum seekers.
Asylum seekers cannot leave the camp, and their fate now depends on when and how Minsk and the EU agree. Immigrants are allowed to enter the “update camp” without any problems, without stopping and without checking the documents. But there is a point here: once the IDPs enter the camp, they can no longer simply leave voluntarily.
More people arrive at the refugee camp near Grodno, Belarus. In recent days, about a thousand migrants from the Middle East have flocked here, and according to statistics, more than 3,000 asylum seekers have been trying to enter Europe through the Belarusian-Polish border for more than a week, but hundreds of Polish border guards and Barbed wire blocks their way.
