What does the Belarusian KGB have to do with the migration crisis?

According to the Washington Post , on Wednesday the Facebook-linked company, Meta, announced that the KGB would use numerous fake accounts to engage in very harsh criticism of the Polish authorities in relation to the migration crisis related to the Belarusian-Polish border.

The information company – reports Il Post – claimed that: "Although people [to the accounts] have tried to hide their identity and their coordination, the investigations we conducted have led to the Belarusian KGB".
