Description

Dozens of migrants continued to arrive at the Belarusian side of the Poland-Belarus border, near the village of Bruzgi on Sunday.

Migrants were carrying sleeping bags and some belongings in plastic bags.

On Saturday, there were 223 attempts to cross the border, according to Poland.

Tensions between the EU and Belarus have been escalating in recent months, with the EU accusing Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko of deliberately sending migrants to the border in response to sanctions imposed by the EU.

Earlier Lukashenko had stated that he would weaken control over migration at the borders with Western countries.

EU ambassadors agreed on Wednesday that Belarus migrant 'hybrid attack' is a legal basis for a new round of sanctions for Minsk.
