立陶宛边界警卫队自今年年初以来发现了12条用于越过白俄罗斯边境的非法移民隧道，其中最长达25米[1]。迄今约40名从隧道出境的移民已被逮捕[1]，立陶宛检察机关正在对约20人非法挖掘隧道的事件进行审前调查[1]。立陶宛与白俄罗斯边界总长约700公里，其中约550公里已设置围栏[1]。
立陶宛边界警卫队司令Rustamas Liubajevas指出，"没有白俄罗斯当局的后勤支持，他们无法完成这项工作，因为他们需要大量材料（如木材）来加强隧道的墙壁"[1]。专家普遍认为这些隧道反映了白俄罗斯当局的支持，是针对北约东翼的混合战术，目的是制造政治不稳定并削弱对乌克兰的支持[1]。2025年立陶宛边界警卫部队共登记了1652起非法入境尝试[1]。白俄罗斯总统卢卡申科对此予以否认，表示并未促进移民流向邻国[1]。
Lithuania's border guard has discovered 12 illegal tunnels used by migrants attempting to cross from Belarus, the longest extending 25 meters [1]. The approximately 700-kilometer border between the two countries has roughly 550 kilometers of fencing, yet these underground passages have enabled unauthorized crossings [1]. To date, around 40 migrants who used the tunnels have been arrested [1].
Lithuanian prosecutors have confirmed that a pre-trial investigation into approximately 20 individuals suspected of illegally excavating these tunnels is underway [1]. According to Rustamas Liubajevas, commander of Lithuania's border guard, such operations would be impossible without logistical support from Belarusian authorities, as large quantities of materials like timber are required to reinforce tunnel walls [1]. In 2025, Lithuania's border guard recorded 1,652 attempted illegal border crossings [1]. Meanwhile, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has denied facilitating migrant flows toward neighboring countries [1].
