  "description": "Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk reports that Polish security services prevent 98% of illegal border crossings from Belarus, attributing the smuggling attempts to hybrid tactics allegedly backed by the Belarusian and Russian governments.

    "Since 2021, thousands of migrants from the Middle East and Africa have crossed the Belarusian border into the European Union via Poland, Lithuania and Latvia in what Warsaw has called a 'hybrid attack'.",
    "Tusk said he had received a report confirming 'at least organizational and political patronage' over the migratory pressure at the border, allegedly fueled by the Belarusian government. Warsaw is also aware of Moscow’s involvement, he added.",
    "\"We are dealing with both a state-run operation and a smuggling network,\" the prime minister said.",
    "Poland has deployed around 6,000 soldiers to the 227-kilometer longer border with Belarus to monitor the area."
