Sorry Seph but Old Boy has called this right. Belarus and Russia are closely intertwined.

Raab points finger at Russia over Belarus ‘hijack’ and arrest of journalist

The Foreign Secretary pointed to the close relationship between Moscow and Minsk.

It is “very difficult to believe” the arrest of a prominent critic of the Belarus regime from a Ryanair flight could have taken place “without at least the acquiescence of the authorities in Moscow”, the Foreign Secretary has said.

Aircraft have been instructed to avoid Belarusian air space following the “state-sponsored hijack” of the flight on Sunday.

Dominic Raab said that although the situation was not yet clear, the relationship between Minsk and Moscow suggested Russian leaders may have been aware of the plans in advance.
