Strong calls of condemnation and a call for an international investigation so far. Sigh. Poland would be in a position to do something here, but unfortunately it chose today to ignore the EU COJ's order to stop coal extraction on the Polish-Czech border, since the plant there was built witout sufficient cross-border consultations. Before they chose to ignore the EU ruling on some legal matters. Any call Morawiecki is now going to make regarding international law will be summarily laughed out.

The Lone Badger posted:Could various member nations order any airline registered in their country to stay out of Belarussian airspace for safety reasons? Effectively cutting Belarus from airline service. That's already happening with some. AirBaltic is diverting flights around Belarus. Air France is not. Will have to see if this goes from a really stupid thing Luka did to an incredibly stupid thing.

Idk how the EU can realistically pressure Lukshenko, but I expected some kind of response.

loving hell, it's getting dumber and dumber. So first today, there was another bomb threat. This time it was a Lufthansa flight from Minsk. No information so far about any arrests, the flight has left Minsk after a search. Could be a legitimate prank call inspired by yesterday's events or an attempt to show that, look, this stuff happens all the time, ha-ha, we just got lucky with Pratasiewicz. After that a press secretary for the department of aviation said that the Ryanair bomb threat came from Hamas. Sure, let's get Israel involved in the middle of a fragile ceasefire.

Lukash is just following Putler in breaking all possible rules because suddenly they realised that EU doesn't care at loving all. They can (and will) condemn super seriously all they want tho. It's like two guys are walking around some big city beating people to death and police is following them, shaming and saying that they can't do this and should stop.

So looks like the entire Latvian embassy got expelled just now, after the FM and the mayor of Riga jointly took down BY's red/green flag at the IIHF hockey championship venue and replaced it with the Pahonia. hell yeah. edit: https://twitter.com/tvrain/status/1396844848590819335

Latvia's already expelled all Belarusian diplomats. I know it's easy to think nothing will come of it outside of token gestures, but for some reason I have that feeling that Lukashenko's got himself in more trouble than usual.

Paying particular attention to Protasiewicz's girfriend, who was also taken in. She's a Russian national, and is not wanted in any capacity in Belarus, and the Russian embassy is apparently requesting to see her. There was also a US national on board, which apparently open up the door for the US to be a side in this clusterfuck. Also, go plucky lil Latvia! And for our friends Seknr and Paladinus, you're awesome (because I can't really do anything else to help you) Mokotow fucked around with this message at 17:07 on May 24, 2021 |

Well, that didn't take long - Protasiewicz is now reported to be in critical condition in a Minsk hospital due to cardiac issues. Mind this is very fresh and some people are saying it's fake to stress his family out.

According to an official statement, he's fine and wasn't hospitalised, though. E: They've now released a video where Roman says he's fine and he's making a confession in organising riots. He does look fine, as much as one can be fine in this situation. Paladinus fucked around with this message at 20:30 on May 24, 2021 |

Welp, results of the EU meeting are in. EU+UK will ban all Belorussian airlines in their airspace. Strong recommendation to all airlines to avoid Belorussian airspace from now on and there will be more sanctions on individual Belorussian kleptocrats. It's not much, but I seriously don't know what else they could have done.

Apparently he was a war journalist in the Donbass working for the Belorussian euroradio, which Russian propaganda and their fronts for mush-brained westerners are now spreading as "HE'S A NAZI AND FOUGHT FOR AZOV" With how this horseshit is disseminated in a year or two every single person alive will have been accused of being a nazi that fought for Azov

Yeah, if you were following twitter you could see in real-time how first Kremlin bots were flooding Russian-language replies related to the topic with either "but but MORALES PLANE SNOWDEN 2013" and then the "NEONAZI AZOV MAIDAN" After this the narrative spread to the english-speaking part through the usual propaganda outlets like Sputnik, the Grayzone (Ben Norton) and the surrounding disinfo ecosystem, they are just trying to flood the debate with poo poo. (Which is notable, the Kremlin is helping out Belarus here)  The "source" is an anonymous (pro-Lukashenko) telegram channel, which got picked up by Russian outlets, which got picked up by one Ukrainian outlet, which was used as a source link on wikipedia https://mobile.twitter.com/SpaghettiKozak/status/1396920095302164481 https://mobile.twitter.com/Alexey__Kovalev/status/1396896211311939585 Somaen fucked around with this message at 23:25 on May 24, 2021 |
