Listen Later

And it’s the very speed with which this influx has happened that has led to accusations that Belarus’ President is using the migrants to keep himself in power and put pressure on the EU to lift sanctions.So, is Alexander Lukashenko - with Russian help - actually flying in the men, women and children - and using them as political pawns?
