It is a bit comical, and I sat through twelve different news sites to grasp the whole picture.
For those who were not aware....Belarus is on the bad-boy list. Varying reasons for this, but the EU (with German support) made it clear.....there are consequences for all of their bad-boy activities.
So, there are counter consequences that have now occurred. Belarus figured out that there are various migrants and refugees who'd like to make their way to Germany. So they've opened up a 'path' and migrants are allowed to enter Belarus with the understanding.....you will just proceed on.
Upon leaving the border? Lithuania says (four weeks ago) that they've suddenly gotten a surge of migrants.
Why not Poland? I sat and looked at the map and read through various articles. The Poles have a fair amount of security at the border and would probably in most cases....stop them. You can't say that Lithuania has that capability.
The EU forced to haul cash/assets into Lithuania....to resolve this border issue? Probably.
But you might end up with 20,000 migrants already in Lithuania....all attempting to use ferry services or other methods....to make their way into Germany.
