The State Border Guard Service of Lithuania has counted that during the year - from August 3, 2021 - when it was decided not to let illegal migrants into Lithuania, 11 300 people were returned to the territory of Belarus. Lithuania called the illegal attempts to cross the border a hybrid attack by the Minsk regime.
