The corresponding statement was published on the official website of the Lithuanian department.
“Only two weeks have passed since the last meeting of the EU Interior Ministers, when I informed my colleagues in detail about the situation in Lithuania, and the number of illegal migrants has almost doubled during this time.
This situation requires immediate action and solutions, ”she said.
The Minister stressed that one of the most important tasks is the construction of a "physical barrier".
According to Bilotaite, this will help stop the flow of illegal migrants as soon as possible.
The Ukrainian authorities previously announced their intention to provide humanitarian assistance to Lithuania in deterring illegal immigrants by transferring barbed wire to Vilnius to equip the border with Belarus.
As of July 28, a record number of illegal immigrants from Belarus in the amount of 171 people were caught in Lithuania per day.
The country's authorities blame Minsk for the crisis.
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, commenting on the accusations from Vilnius, said that there are criminal groups in Lithuania that are involved in transporting illegal immigrants to the republic.
