European Union Acts on Human Smuggling in the Belarus Border Crisis

The dramatic situation at the border with three European Union (EU) countries, especially Poland, is alarming and explosive. Recent actions by the Belarus’s Lukashenko regime and its supporters are to be seen in this light – as a determined attempt to create a continuing and protracted crisis, as part of a broader concerted effort to destabilize the EU, testing its unity and resolve. These actions represent a real and present danger to the EU’s security.
