Speaking at the Rudninkai military base, M. Sinkevičius addressed journalists regarding escalating migration issues involving the latvian side. He reported concerns over a developing situation characterized by what he termed “secondary illegal migration.” Specifically, he noted that individuals crossing the latvian-Belarusian border were moving toward Central Europe, with movement observed across the Latvian-Lithuanian border.
He added that further attempts to cross the Lithuanian-Polish border were also anticipated. In response to this escalating situation, Sinkevičius outlined several potential countermeasures. He mentioned that one drastic option would be to reinstate comprehensive border control measures and fully restore the functionality of existing border posts.
Until such measures are implemented, the immediate strategy involves strengthening the capabilities of state border guards. He reiterated that the issue had been communicated to the latvian authorities, expressing hope that their concerns were being taken seriously. Sinkevičius emphasized the importance of continued cooperation with the latvian side and local officials.
He stated that technical assistance was already being provided to bolster border security efforts. He concluded by expressing confidence that the latvian authorities were receiving and considering the information provided regarding the complex movement patterns at the border.
