abstract: The political provocation orchestrated by the Lukashenko regime in retaliation for European support of his political opponents following the 2020 election has fallen on fertile Polish soil. Migrants and asylum seekers, often in a state of hypothermia and dehydration, are pushed across the Polish-Belarussian border in a deadly game of ping-pong. Their applications for asylum are repeatedly ignored. Poland has trapped itself in a full-blown humanitarian crisis event though the solution is entirely within the country’s reach.
