border:<\/p>\n increase in the number of border violations<\/strong> from Belarus;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n migrant transfers<\/strong> towards the EU;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n activity of the Belarusian security forces<\/strong>, acting in coordination with Russian structures.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Temporarily private and freight traffic is stopped<\/strong> through all checkpoints.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n The only
