Belarus–Poland border barrier
On 25 January 2022, Poland began building a border wall on the border with Belarus to prevent illegal immigration in the aftermath of the Belarus–European Union border crisis. Poland began work on the 5.5-meter (18 foot) high steel wall topped with barbed wire at a cost of around 1,6 billion zł (407m USD) aimed at blocking the passage of illegal  migrants during the border crisis in the region artificially instigated by Belarus in the late summer of 2021. The barrier was completed on 30 June 2022. Some media outlets, journalists and celebrities accused the Polish government of using border barrier to prevent entry of irregular asylum seekers. During and after the intense phase of the border crisis, Poland did not close its border crossings with Belarus and did not stop granting asylum. See also
