“I think that President Lukashenko is informing our President about the history of the plane.

The issue of a Russian citizen who was detained and is in a pre-trial detention center in Minsk will probably be touched upon, ”Peskov said.

On May 23, a Ryanair plane landed in Minsk on a flight from Athens to Vilnius.

According to the Belarusian authorities, this was due to the report of a bomb on board.

On the plane was Roman Protasevich, the founder of the NEXTA Telegram channel recognized as extremist in Belarus.

He was detained after landing.

Later, Lukashenko spoke about the decision of the pilot of the Ryanair plane to land in Minsk.
