For a while, Western European nations paid and otherwise coerced Eastern European nations to stall the migrants in the East with situations like Kosovo.

Belarus has allowed Migrants across it's territory as per international agreement.
Poland has refused to honor their agreement and regularly militarily blocks the Migrants and drives them back to Belarus by force.
Belarus regularly destroys blockades and fences at border crossings so Migrants can cross into Poland as agreed, and Poland rebuilds them.
Belarus likely will reinforce their Border Guard with Wagner Pros and the agreed Migrant entry into Poland will begin for Real.

It was the other way around.
