“No, of course not,” he replied to a question about the participation of Russian special services in a situation with an emergency landing.
Putin said that he had seen statements by the NATO leadership allegedly about Russia's participation in this incident.
“I can say: NATO is in danger if the leadership makes such statements.
This means that people simply do not understand how such processes can occur, ”added the Russian leader.
Earlier, the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov said that Russia stands for a serious approach based on international law in the situation with the emergency landing of a Ryanair airline 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.
A Russian citizen Sophia Sapega was also detained.
