A number of countries are initiating a complete ban on civil flights in the airspace of Belarus. The Telegram channel writes about it "Belarus of the brain».
The United States, Great Britain, Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, the Czech Republic and Ireland decided to qualify the threat of using air-to-air missiles in relation to flight FR4978, which was flown by Roman Protasevich, as an act of state terrorism.
The mechanism for introducing a total ban on civil flights in the airspace of Belarus has been launched. In addition, the countries intend to ban Belarus from participating in Interpol and other international organizations.
High-ranking parliamentarians from the EU and the USA also called on all NATO countries to impose sanctions on the regime in Minsk for committing a "piracy" attack on a civilian air route between two NATO countries.
As a reminder, on May 23 at the Minsk airport they urgently landed a Ryanair plane traveling from Athens to Vilnius and detained the former editor of the Belarusian opposition channel Nexta Roman Protasevich.
According to the chief advisor of the Lithuanian president on foreign policy, Asta Skysgyrite, Belarus used a MiG-29 military fighter and a Mi-24 military helicopter to deploy the civilian aircraft.
