“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly recommends that Lithuanian citizens do not travel to the Republic of Belarus and calls on all Lithuanian citizens who are in Belarus to leave the country,” the statement on the department’s website says.

Earlier it was reported that the General Prosecutor's Office of Lithuania is investigating the incident with the landing of the Ryanair plane in Minsk.

The Ryanair plane, flying from Athens to Vilnius, on May 23 urgently landed in Minsk due to a report of a bomb on board.

Information about mining was not confirmed.

The founder of the NEXTA Telegram channel recognized in Belarus as extremist, Roman Protasevich, was flying in the liner, who was detained after landing.
