Officials report that the flow of foreigners determined to move westward is rising, but Poland is not the final destination for many of them. The aim for a significant portion appears to be transiting through Poland toward Western Europe, with citizens primarily from African and Asian nations, including those from the Middle East. This view is shared by border security channels in Poland, who describe the region along the Polish-Belarusian border as a hotspot for such movements.
Border Guard representatives note that younger men are disproportionately represented among those attempting to cross the border. The pattern suggests that a range of actors, including Belarusian services, are providing assistance and resources to facilitate illegal border crossings.
Several border control technologies are already in operation. An electronic firewall has been implemented along the border, with a substantial stretch of the dam completed. The monitoring system is fully documented, and a central surveillance center is located in Białystok. This setup enables rapid deployment of patrols to locations where activity signals a potential border breach.
As this situation develops, officials emphasize ongoing vigilance and coordination with border security partners to manage crossings and protect the integrity of the border. These updates come from public briefings that outline the measures in place to track and respond to border activity in real time.
