President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko commented on the incident with an emergency landing of the Ryanair aircraft. It is reported by Telegram-channel “RT in Russian”.
According to him, the report on the mining of the liner came from Switzerland. The crew was consulted with the airline and the airport in Vilnius, but decided to land in Minsk.
“The plane was deployed near Belayes. And if suddenly the Safety Systems were translated into a complete combat readiness mode? I was legally defended by people, according to all international rules,” said Lukashenko.
