Belarus migrant surge 'has failed' to undermine EU | The National

Brussels says crisis has brought solidarity despite suspected ploy by regime in Minsk

The migrant crisis in Belarus has failed to undermine the European Union despite the suspected intentions of the regime in Minsk, the president of the European Commission has said. Ursula von der Leyen said it had created solidarity between the EU and the three countries on the front line, Poland, Lithuania and Latvia. She said international agencies were working on taking the migrants back to their home countries. Poland, which has continued to report attempted crossings of its border, said it was willing to help finance the return flights if the situation continued to ease. People’s lives were put at risk after they were “lured to the Belarus border under false pretences,” Ms von der Leyen said on a visit to Lithuania on Sunday. The EU will treble funding to the three countries for improved border security, including through drones and electronic surveillance, she said. “Lukashenko has failed in his bid to undermine EU unity and solidarity,” she said. “We are facing down his hybrid attack, all together. “But we are also well advised to learn the lessons. To deflect away from our internal problems, our opponents do not shy away from waging hybrid attacks on us.”
It seems Lukashanka's scheme to flood the EU with economic migrants that he has trafficked-in has failed.
After draining them of their life savings, you know the asshole won't pony up the money for their flights back home.
