Discussion of the threats posed by the influx of migrants, their connection to the Zapad exercise to be held in autumn, and what other security challenges the Belarus-Russia incident in Lithuania may cause can be discussed on the news portal tv3.lt . Guests of the show: curator, member of the Defense and National Security Committee of the Seimas Arvydas Pocius and professor at the Lithuanian Military Academy General Jonas Zemaitis, political scientist Giedrius Česnakas.
In recent months, Lithuania has faced several times more flows of illegal immigrants at the border with Belarus. Lithuanian officials say this is an organized hybrid attack against the Belarusian regime against Lithuania.
At a meeting last Friday, the government declared a state-of-the-art emergency situation due to the sharp increase in illegal migration to Lithuania.
This year, 1509 illegal immigrants from Belarus tried to enter Lithuania; this number is more than eighteen times higher than in all of 2020.
