In 2026, Latvia prevented ~2,500 illegal border crossings in May; Poland saw ~190 attempts by mid-May; Lithuania blocked 775 migrants from Belarus in 2026. Poland and Lithuania's better border sensors shifted migration flows to Latvia.
In May 2026, around 2,500 migrants were prevented from illegally crossing the Latvian border. From the beginning of 2026 until mid-May, Poland registered approximately 190 attempts of illegal border crossings. Lithuanian border guards blocked 775 illegal migrants from Belarus from entering Lithuania in 2026. Poland and Lithuania have equipped their eastern borders with video surveillance systems, motion sensors, and other detection equipment. Consequently, a significant flow of illegal migration is now occurring across the Latvian border.
Confidence: Medium
The incident reports increased illegal migration flows due to enhanced border safeguards in neighboring countries. Although the growing migration pressure could be exploited for hybrid warfare, this report primarily describes migration and border control dynamics without explicit hostile actions.
