Belarus Accused Of 'Provocation' As Record Numbers Of Illegal Migrants Reach Lithuania

Lithuanian officials say waves of illegal migrants arriving from Belarus have reached a new peak, with nearly 300 detentions reported in one day alone. Most of the detainees are Iraqis who crossed the border via Belarus with apparent ease. Lithuanian and EU officials says Belarus is allowing migrants to transit as a "provocation" toward the bloc in retaliation for sanctions against Minsk.
