“According to the instructions, the dispatcher must offer the closest airport to the flight crew. When the message of the demining of the plane was received, the closest airport was in Minsk, the channel said. – The captain of the plane decided to give turn around and land in Minsk. The situation was reported to the president, who replied that we would definitely help. “
However, earlier it was written on the Pul Pervogo channel that the Vilnius airport was actually closer, but the plane still decided to land in Minsk.
“Belarus has defended Europe. The Ryanair plane flew from Athens to Vilnius and landed in Minsk, according to the regime’s Telegram channel. – The dictator seems to have done it! Whatever the political situation, Belarus is certainly not a country that it will not provide assistance in a difficult situation (which cannot be said for its neighbors in the West), especially when human lives are at stake. “
Romanas Protasevičius, founder of the Nexta information channel, is silent about the fact that there was a journalist among the passengers on the plane. Pul Pervogo only mentions that the fact that there was an extremist among the passengers is not a problem for those who made the decision to provide assistance.
“Maybe some Western leaders should look among those who sent a message about an explosive on an airplane to get rid of unnecessary ballast?”
At that time, the news portal mlyn.by presented the alleged opinions of citizens on the arrest of R. Protasevičius. Dima from Ukraine is said to say that “we dreamed of a president like Lukashenko”, and Elena says it was “a great job, a real happiness”.
A Ryanair passenger plane flying from Athens to Vilnius forcibly landed in Minsk on Sunday. The European Council is scheduled to discuss the incident on Monday.
R. Protasevičius, Belarusian opposition activist and blogger and founder of the Nexta information channel, flew the aforementioned Ryanair plane. When the plane landed in Minsk, it was stopped.
According to Lithuanian data, there were 171 passengers on the plane, including 94 Lithuanian citizens, as well as 11 Greeks, nine French, several Belarusians, Poles, Romanians, Germans, Latvians, Russians, as well as citizens of Georgia and other countries. After spending about seven hours at the Minsk airport, they flew back to Vilnius, except for R. Protasevičius, his friend, and four other people.
Belarus used a fighter jet and a military helicopter to land a civilian plane.
The Lithuanian leader and the Foreign Minister described it as an act of state terrorism, and the Lithuanian Prosecutor’s Office launched a pre-trial investigation into the hijacking of the aircraft.
On Sunday, Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda said he would raise the issue of recognizing Belarusian airspace as unsafe civil aviation space and depriving Belarusian airline Belavia of the right to land at EU and NATO airports.
