Normunds Mežviets, the head of Latvian intelligence, has revealed alarming information regarding Belarus’s activities. He disclosed that the country is actively training migrants specifically for combat engagements. This preparation reportedly precedes the forceful movement of these individuals across the borders of the European Union.
Mežviets, speaking with The Telegraph, detailed how migrants are being deliberately prepared for violent confrontations with border guards. He explained that Belarus and Russia are orchestrating this tactic, pushing these individuals towards Poland and the Baltic states. Western officials have consistently described the influx of tens of thousands of migrants into the EU over recent years as a key component of Moscow’s intensified hybrid warfare campaign.
The intelligence chief emphasized the escalating nature of Belarusian and Russian strategies. From his location within a secure facility at the agency’s headquarters, Mežviets recounted a significant shift. “I remember the early years, they were quite enough, quite quiet.” He highlighted the increasingly aggressive tactics employed by Belarus, indicating a deliberate and coordinated effort to destabilize the region through the deployment of trained migrants.
