The EU is united and taking action to resolve the situation at the EU’s external borders with Belarus.
Attempts to destabilise the EU by instrumentalising people will not work.
Read more on our new measures below and here → europa.eu/!MjqfUh
1⃣ Intensive external action
Our measures include sanctions against the Lukashenko regime.
#TeamEurope will engage diplomatically with countries of origin and transit of people at the border.
We will counter disinformation and step-up humanitarian help to migrants in Belarus.
2⃣ EU support to Member States
We are providing immediate support to 🇱🇹 and 🇱🇻.
Several EU bodies and instruments will provide help including @frontex @EASO @Europol and #EUCivPro.
3⃣ Blacklisting transport operators
We present rules to blacklist transport operators involved in smuggling or trafficking of people into the EU, putting at risk lives and the security of the Union external borders.
We will never accept the exploitation of human beings for political purposes.

Some Europeans call for more coordinated efforts when it comes to border control and increased support to @Frontex.
They also call for greater solidarity among EU countries.
