Lithuanian border guards told what is happening on the border with Belarus.

On Monday, Lithuanian border guards detained 110 migrants from Belarus who illegally crossed the border. According to the department, illegal immigrants sometimes sit on the Belarusian side and wait for the Lithuanian border guard to leave so that they can freely cross the border.

So, on the eve of the evening, the border guards noticed three men and a woman from Belarus approaching the border. Having seen the patrol, the migrants stopped a few meters from the border and sat down on the ground, watching the Lithuanian border guards. The officers immediately reported potential trespassers to the Belarusian colleagues guarding the area. However, no reaction followed either after the first or after subsequent reports, the Lithuanian side said.

- Even after more than 6 hours, the situation has not changed, except that the migrants retreated into the depths of Belarus, but did not disappear from the field of vision of the Lithuanian border guards. Later, they again approached the border.

The Lithuanian Border Agency points out that such cases have been constantly recorded at the border lately.

In total, 110 people were detained on Monday, 93 introduced themselves as Iraqi citizens or had documents of this country.

Since the beginning of the year, 2839 illegal migrants have been detained at the Belarusian-Lithuanian border.
