Belarus does not relent with migrants. It trains them in special training camps

The head of Latvia's State Security Service warns about Belarus's ongoing migrant training efforts amid a perceived lull in border activity.

The head of the Latvian State Security Service has raised alarms about Belarus's migrant training programs, describing a potential quiet period at the borders as deceptive. He indicates that Belarus’s aggressive policy against its EU neighbors worsened last year, suggesting a sinister motive behind the lull in border activities. His remarks come in light of growing concerns over Belarus's influence and actions regarding migration to EU nations.

According to the head of the Latvian intelligence agency, Belarus is reportedly conducting training camps for migrants, where they are reportedly prepared for confrontations with border guards. Such activities could escalate tensions between Belarus and neighboring countries, especially Latvia and Poland. This alarming trend indicates a strategic use of migration as a tool against the European Union, reflecting Belarus's ongoing defiance of EU policies regarding border control and migration management.

Furthermore, the agency's representative pointed to indoctrination tactics employed against migrants, who are shown fabricated recordings that depict alleged brutality by European authorities. This disinformation campaign aims to manipulate the perceptions of migrants, reinforcing their distrust of EU nations. The training and indoctrination of these individuals mark a concerning strategy that could lead to increased hostilities at the EU borders, complicating existing migratory issues and regional security dynamics.
