Hundreds if not thousands of illegal immigrants sought to illegally cross the border from Belarus into Poland on Monday, with some cutting razor wire fences and using tree branches and small trees to try and climb over. The development is an escalation of a crisis along the European Union’s eastern border that has been simmering for months.

Belarus has been accused of weaponizing illegal immigration against the EU for its own political gain.
