A dramatic migrant standoff continues to unfold in freezing conditions at the Belarus-Poland border.
Thousands of Middle East and African migrants, including children, have moved from a camp in Belarus to one of the main border crossing points into Poland, causing a tense stand-off with border guards stationed behind barbed-wire fences.
As the humanitarian and political crisis escalates, EU foreign ministers were meeting in Brussels to discuss further sanctions against Belarus and it's president Alexander Lukashenko, who has been accused of generating a flow of migrants for political purposes.
EU commission president Ursula von der Leyen warned that airlines which transport migrants to the area will face penalties.
Lukashenko dismissed the claims he had orchestrated the influx as "absurd".
