Putin and Haftar are preparing a new migration crisis in the EU: what is known about the Benghazi-Minsk flights

Russian President Vladimir Putin and the commander of Libya are planning to provoke a new migration crisis in the European Union. According to The Telegraph, the European Commission has recorded an increase in the number of flights between Benghazi and Minsk, which may indicate an attempt to support illegal migration into the EU.

Officials claim that this trend indicates possible coordination with General Khalifa Haftar, who controls eastern Libya, with the aim of resettling people to the EU. This could lead to a repeat of the 2021 situation, when thousands of migrants were assisted in crossing the borders of Belarus.

A representative of the European Commission indicated that the Minsk-Benghazi flights of the 'Belavia' airline raise questions about potential cooperation in facilitating illegal migration flows.

Increase in the number of flights

Data collected by The Telegraph shows a rapid increase in flights between Benghazi and Minsk in recent months. This occurs against the backdrop of accusations against Lukashenko of facilitating migration through Belarus. According to intelligence, this could be part of a strategy agreed with Putin to exert pressure on the West.

Putin and Lukashenko's plans regarding migration into the EU may indicate attempts to influence the situation in Europe through illegal migration and pressure on EU countries.
