Război hibrid al Rusiei cu Europa. Letonia închide ultima frontieră cu Belarus să oprească migrația ilegală • Newsweek România

Latvia has closed its last border crossing with Belarus to combat illegal migration amid a hybrid war involving migrants. The Interior Minister urged citizens to avoid travel to Belarus due to safety concerns. The border police reported technical issues at the Paternieki crossing, complicating border control operations. Latvia has extended enhanced border protection measures until the end of the year due to ongoing border violations. Since the beginning of 2026, over 9,000 illegal crossing attempts have been thwarted, with evidence of Belarusian security forces' involvement in organizing illegal migration.
