The article outlines the current situation at the Lithuania-Belarus border regarding illegal migration. According to the latest reports, the Latvian border guards did not turn back any illegal migrants on Friday, and Polish authorities reported no attempts to cross the border illegally on Thursday. This year's statistics indicate that Lithuania has not permitted 14 illegal migrants to enter the country, a stark contrast to previous years when the numbers were significantly higher. Last year, there were over 1,600 attempts at illegal crossings from Belarus into Lithuania, while the numbers were over 1,000 two years prior.

This ongoing issue is linked to a broader migration crisis that began in 2021, which resulted in increased pressure on the eastern EU member states, particularly Lithuania, Latvia, and Poland. Western countries have accused the Belarusian government of orchestrating this influx to destabilize the region. The spike in illegal crossings has drawn significant attention to border security and immigration policies in the region, prompting these countries to fortify their borders and enhance monitoring efforts.

Overall, Lithuania's ability to manage the flow of illegal migrants at its border has implications for regional security and the country’s immigration policies. The denial of entry to over 24,600 migrants since the onset of the crisis reflects a proactive approach to border control but also highlights the ongoing challenges posed by geopolitical tensions in the region, particularly as the Belarusian regime continues to be scrutinized for its actions and motives regarding migration.
