Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko visits a centre for the hundreds of migrants that remain in Belarus after attempting to cross into the EU via the Polish border. Thousands of migrants -- mainly Iraqi Kurds -- have spent months trying to get into the European Union from Belarus. The crisis escalated earlier this month with around 2,000 setting up a makeshift camp on the border in freezing conditions. IMAGES

The Belarusian State Border Committee releases new video of a migrant camp near Polish border, as Warsaw says it has seen a surge in attempts to breach its border. Poland accuses Minsk of "state terrorism" by provoking a new migrant crisis in Europe, while Belarus blames the migrant crisis on the European Union and accuses the bloc of rejecting talks. IMAGES
Images released by Polish Police show the area along the border with Belarus close to the border town of Kuznica which has been entirely cleared of migrant encampments. Some 2,000 migrants who were living in freezing conditions at the border have been moved to a nearby warehouse. The West accuses Belarus of artificially creating the crisis by bringing in would-be migrants, mostly from the Middle East, and taking them to the border with promises of an easy crossing into the EU. Belarus has denied the claim, instead criticising the EU for not taking in the migrants. IMAGES
