A patrol of the Polish army on the border with Belarus. The recordings were published by the Polish Ministry of Defense - journalists are still not allowed into the border area. Polish soldiers repair part of the border installation - the conflict with Belarus has not yet been defused. Refugees continue to hold out on the Belarusian side under extreme conditions. There are repeated attempts to break through the fence. According to the Polish authorities, there have been 134 since Monday morning alone - apparently with the support of Belarusian armed forces. This video aims to show how Belarusian border guards aim lasers on the Polish side. The European Union accuses Belarusian ruler Alexander Lukashenko ofto fly in people from crisis regions in a targeted manner and smuggle them into the EU, thereby destabilizing the situation there. Lukashenko, in turn, accuses the EU of a hybrid war. As alleged evidence, the authoritarian ruler presents a corpse on these recordings published on Monday, which he claims to have been placed on Belarusian territory from Lithuania.
