Russian Ambassador to Belarus speaks about conditions of detention of S. Sapega

Moscow is not putting pressure on Minsk in connection with the arrest of Sofia Sapega. Russian Ambassador to Belarus Yevgeny Lukyanov told reporters today after the meeting with the Chairman of the Lower House of Parliament Vladimir Andreichenko.

Sapega is a citizen of Russia. She was detained in Minsk together with blogger Protasevich after an emergency landing of the plane of Irish airline Ryanair, which followed the Athens-Vilnius route.

Just the day before, a similar incident occurred with the Dublin-Krakow flight. The plane landed in Berlin due to the threat of a bomb on board. True, in this case, the incident continues to be ignored by the international organizations.

However, mass silence is already a clear confirmation of double approaches to events that are identical in meaning.
