Video Fact: Belarusian Soldiers With Weapons in Their Hands Drive Migrants to the Border With Latvia

The Latvian Defense Ministry published shocking footage.

The video shows another hybrid act on the Latvian-Belarusian border: the Belarusian military forces migrants to move towards Latvia and does not allow them to get back to the territory of Belarus. Uniformed men threaten migrants with military weapons. In addition, they are forced to sit right on the ground under the supervision of people armed with machine guns during halts.

The portal Sargs.lv, founded by the Latvian Ministry of Defense, emphasizes that such actions are part of a hybrid operation by Belarus directed against the Baltic states, Poland, NATO, and the EU.
