On May 25, Department of Aviation of Belarus published the script of the conversation between Minsk airport and the Ryanair pilot that made an emergency landing in Minsk airport in May 23.
On May 23, 2021, a written message with the following content in English was sent to the e-mail of the National Airport Minsk from the e-mail address protonmail.com:
“We, Hamas soldiers, demand that Israel cease fire in the Gaza Strip. We demand that the European Union abandon its support for Israel in this war. We know that the participants of Delphi Economic Forum are returning home on May 23 via flight FR4978. A bomb has been planted onto this aircraft. If you don’t meet our demands the bomb will explode on May 23 over Vilnius. Allahu Akbar.”
Belarus air traffic control told a Vilnius-bound Ryanair flight there was a bomb on board and suggested it divert to Minsk, according to the released transcript.
The dispatcher contacted the crew on May 23 at 12.30 local time to report the information received about the bomb planted on board the liner, which has not been confirmed later. The message, which the administration received by e-mail on behalf of the Hamas movement, said the attackers were planning to detonate a bomb over Vilnius.
The dispatcher advised the pilots to land in Minsk, but they refused, deciding to head to Vilnius. Soon they contacted the dispatching service, accepting the proposal to land in Belarus.
The recording of the conversation is yet to be released.

On May 24, Belarusian news channels published several parts of recordings.
In the first part published by the ONT channel, the dispatcher says that the airport security service received an e-mail with the threat of an explosion.
According to the second part, released by the Belarus 1 TV channel, the dispatcher said that the landing in Minsk was a recommendation.
On May 25, the Transport Ministry of Belarus claimed that representatives of international agencies were invited for “further consideration of the circumstances” of the incident. The invited organisations are the International Civil Aviation Organization, the International Air Transport Association, the European Union Aviation Safety Agency and the EU and US Civil Aviation Authorities.
On May 24, a video showing the notorious Roman Protasevich, who was detained at the Minsk airport, giving comments on the current situation, was released.
“Yesterday, I was arrested by officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs at the national airport in Minsk. I am in Detention Center No. 1 in Minsk. I can say that I have no health problems, including with my heart or any other organs. The attitude of employees towards me is as correct as possible and according to the law. I continue cooperating with investigators and am confessing to having organized mass unrest in the city of Minsk.”
There are several opinions about the reasons for the incident in Minsk; who was behind the emergency landing, either the special services of the NATO countries, Protasevich’s partners, or the special services of Belarus.
Regardless of all versions and speculations, the following can be considered as facts:
- at 20:00 Minsk time on May 24, he was alive.
- a day after the arrest, no signs of torture are seen on his face, and he is in a clear consciousness, speaks fluently, does not show signs of severe physical and psychological influence.
- undoubtedly, the voiced text was dictated by Belorussian security services.
- Protasevich’s excitement is noticeable. In the second part of this video, we should pay attention to the speaker’s non-verbal reactions. An unprepared person in such a situation can show a lot through hand gestures and facial expressions. When Protasevich talks about giving confessions, he verbally and non-verbally demonstrates his readiness to at least partially disclose information about the curators and financiers of his activities in exchange for life and freedom.
- Apparently Protasevich, having no experience of being outside his comfort zone, still wonders how is it possible in reality, and not in the text of an Internet blog.
Another video was released on May 25, allegedly showing a Russian citizen, Sofia Sapega, who was detained together with Protasevich.
She claimed: “I am an editor of the telegram channel “Black Book of Belarus”, which publishes personal information about employees of the law enforcement officers of Belarus.”
This reminds me youtube.com/watch?v=RxedpLyL-2Q and Belorussia has the right to do it.
Here is a partial list of incidents of Amerikastan and Amerikastani stooge nations intercepting planes to try to arrest individuals:
https://www.moonofalabama.org/2021/05/lukashenkos-revenge-served-cold.html#more
One could add to that list the time an Italian passenger aircraft was shot down by French fighters over the Mediterranean during the 1980s on the suspicion that it was Brother Muammar Gaddafi’s presidential aircraft.
Of course this works both ways.
I’m very sure a lot of warmonger propagandist “journalists” like Jihadi Julian Röpcke of Bild (who considers Julian Assange a “terrorist”) or that creature from Bellingcrap are shaking in their shoes at the thought that any flight they take from now on over Russian, Belarusian, or even Chinese territory could be intercepted and they finally get the punishment that they deserve.
Röpcke – who is a foaming mouthed supporter of jihadi headchoppers in Syria and Uighuristan – of course, and quite predictably, completely took the side of the zionist entity against Gaza, by the way.
But that is why the USA is exceptional. The rules apply to everyone else except US.
Better make sure this little Quisling doesn’t smoke himself to death.
CIA bot is completely broken and beyond repair/help
Who benefits from slandering Hamas? Who hates Russia with a vengeance? Thats right. JEWS
In 1979, Chinese invaded Vietnam and were defeated by a group of peasants 😂😂😂😂🤪 20,000 Chinese were dispatched to h€££ in that war lol
when coward amerikans invaded Korea, Chinese annilitated “sissy” amerikans—u surrendered after you retreated to 38th parallel
china was lucky was not nuked for that.
Chinese were actually not defeated by Vietnamese peasants but Americans (and french) were.
Chinese are smelly? You eat curry mixed with cows dung 😂😂😂😂🤪
The Vietnamese also dispatched 60 thousand peasant Americans.
The US Army were 3 times as shite as the Chinese were. Then China modernised, while the US turned to trannies.
The Vietnamese had spent the period 1945- 1975 learning how to asymmetrically fight large imperial powers – France and USA – they got good at it quite quickly – humiliating France in mid 1950’s and then USA in mid 70’s.
CIA prosprattlevich nazi known to be friends w Azov nazis in Ukraine expected to be admired by amerikan nazis and their obsequious colonies….his despicable trollop girlfriend a student at amerikn Soros funded fake university in Vilnius
Protasevich – what is his ethnicity – not made clear in any current media – is he Slav or Khazar?
Oposition just want to turn Belarus in a failed state like they did in Ukraine..nothing else!
I guess someone needs to remind the rogue Americunt terrorist state, that it was they under Ronald Reagan who forced a jet to land at Sigonella AFB carrying Abu Abbas in Sicily in 1985 after the Achille Lauro hijacking in the Mediterranean. Abbas was a member of a Palestinian resistance organization and was enroute to Egypt when US air forces intercepted his plane and forced it to land at Nato Naval Air Station Sigonella forcing the famous standoff between the US Delta Force and Italian Carabinieri.
They were having fun until they didn’t being in pay of foreign power’s makes you a traitor, and they will pay the penalty, have no sympathy for them 20 years perhaps will teach them a lesson.
