Smiling human trafficker is caught on camera smuggling illegal immigrants into the EU from Belarus after Alexander Lukashenko threatened to flood Europe with migrants

A smiling human trafficker has been caught on camera smuggling illegal immigrants into Europe from Belarus. 

The woman in Belarus is believed to be carrying out dictator Alexander Lukashenko's threat to flood the continent with migrants.

The people-smuggler is seen waving to a dozen or so men without passports or IF documents where to cross into the EU state of Lithuania.

A male voice is heard telling them: 'Go left.'

They are told 'good luck', and the smiling blonde woman in stripy leggings instructs them to tiptoe and stay quiet.

So far this year some 4,026 migrants - mostly from Iraq - have crossed into Lithuania.

Numbers have spiralled since the West imposed sanctions on Lukashenko's regime for forcing a Ryanair passenger plane to land in capital Minsk to enable the arrest of a political foe Roman Protasevich, 26, and his girlfriend Sofia Sapega, 23.

Today Lithuania threatened to use force against migrants, forcing them back to Belarus, if they refused to turn around at the border.

But the Baltic state faces a highly organised racket to transport the migrants to the border, as highlighted by the blond trafficker who was accompanied by a driver.

Lukashenko has approved daily flights from Iraq to Minsk, and it is clear people smugglers on the ground are organising routes for the migrants.

Lithuania's deputy interior minister Arnoldas Abramavicius said: 'First of all, (Lithuanian border) officers tell them that they are lost.

'That they have arrived in the beautiful country of Belarus and got the wrong way while enjoying its nature. - but now they must continue the tourist track back into that country.'

If this friendly advice fails the army reserves the right to use force to keep migrants away.

Lithuania alleges that Belarus border officers are complicit in the smuggling operation and that their vehicles are used to help the migrants.

Defense Minister Arvydas Anusauskas said 'these are hundreds of troops who are now involved, helping to protect the border'.

Lithuania has complained that Belarus is using migrants in a 'hybrid war' against the West.

The video was leaked to opposition Telegram channels in Belarus.
