Europe closed Belarus for transit of its airlines

11

The European Union has agreed on measures against Minsk, which actually mean the closure of Belarus for transit flights of European airlines. This was announced on June 4 by one of the sources in the delegation of one of the EU countries.

According to the source, the head of European diplomacy, Josep Borrell, noted that for the adoption of such sanctions measures there is no need to wait for the approval of the Council of the European Union, whose meeting will be held on June 21. In turn, the aircraft of the Belarusian carriers will also not be able to fly to the EU countries and use their airports for transit flights.



The Europeans decided to take similar measures after the incident at the Minsk airport on May 23, when the Belarusian authorities forced the plane of the Irish company Ryanair to land, en route from Athens to Vilnius. On board was the former editor-in-chief of the opposition telegram channel Nexta, who was arrested.

Meanwhile, not everyone in the world agrees with the EU restrictive measures against Belarus. Thus, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) believes that the EASA directives on the suspension of flights through the Republic of Belarus are "politicization of aviation security." The organization said in a statement that policy must not interfere with the safe use of aircraft and the operation of flights in order to achieve their goals.

    So after all, in Berlin, they landed a plane because of a bomb in the heads of the heads of the "Hitler two European firm". It's not easy to throw out the Hitler connection and become decent. In their opinion, it was Stalin who made them become Hitler's allies and defend the West from the East Mongol hordes. They did not know that the East is a delicate matter and will seep everywhere. Hitler, when his former allies became enemies, that is, went over to the camp of the eastern hordes, was very upset and shot himself in the head. The balls of the rollers fell into place, he could not stand it and died to death. For almost a hundred years they have mourned the death of their very own among the West, a pointer to how to do drang nah ost. May the land be deserved for them.

    Will European companies smoke on the sidelines and watch their Russian colleagues fly?

    Belarus and the Russian Federation are a union state. If aggression is shown against one member of the union state, and sanctions are one of its forms, another member of the union state is obliged to support, otherwise the union state is farce and demagoguery.

      obliged to support

      - This is if within the framework of normal logic.

      the main enemy of Russia as a country and a civilization is its current elite, says Vladimir Lepekhin, director of the EAEU Institute. - The Soviet elite led the USSR to a dead end, the new Russian elite is engaged in the direct destruction of Russia.

      And if the goals declared by the "elite" are opposite to those declared, then the opposite happens.

        And covered with concern for the people, especially the children's part - I agree here. The new Russian elite is the old Soviet nomenklatura, which benefited from the collapse of the USSR, and therefore, in some places, it was striving for this collapse - one can only partially agree with Lepekhin.

        Quote: Kofesan
        then the opposite happens

        I disagree. Belarus will be supported by us to the last, including military methods, for two reasons - 1. fear of the ruling criminals in front of the "street" (open expression of protest) - dear partners, after all, will point fingers and giggle, 2. CSTO - if we do not intervene if something happens, then there will be more people who want to leave it, but there will definitely not be added to enter ...

          The CSTO was created in order not to let the Americans go there, at least with "guns, finishing off to Smolensk or to Astrakhan." Despite the efforts, the CSTO becomes not healthier, due to the fact that the motivation for being in it does not develop, but degrades. As a result, the "guns" are approaching.

          Belarus had to be supported, in conditions of normal logic, to the last, despite the fact that it would strive for integration. According to the principle - "there will be no good-neighborliness - there will be no support either." As with Poland, for example. In the meantime, her support is reminiscent of turning a blind eye to the parasitism of the Belarusian economy on Russian territory, the body. (from the release of counterfeit cigarettes and vodka, camouflaged contraband to the mass production of goods, equipment, corny squeezing Russian from its own market and the blunt issuance of money - "supposedly loans"). And the military component is derived from the desire to cooperate and live with Russia on an equal footing, not to become its enemy.

          As with the Banderites in the 50s and 60s, here the officialdom of Russia, I think, is making an obvious mistake. (Does this understand? - ... Terrible question). That will inevitably lead to the prevalence of centrifugal tendencies in Belarus. Soon.

          In other words, the practice of today's Kremlin, despite the apparent efforts to get closer, in fact leads to the alienation of Belarus at the mental and political level ...

          ... (Any parasite hates its "owner" like Ukraine, for example). And it leads to the desire to prove (including because of the desire not to admit its depravity) that Belarus is developing not thanks to, but in spite of Russia. (just like Ukraine) ...

          And this level (mental-political) determines all the others.
          In other words, the devil is hidden in the details ...

        The collapse of the USSR is not a consequence of the cunning policy of the West, but a natural consequence of the theory of Marxism, the theoretical illiteracy of the leadership of the CPSU, the isolation of the party's active from the population and, as a consequence, the formal socialization of the productive forces.
        The leadership of the Communist Party of the PRC learned from the experience of the USSR and Deng Xiaoping corrected the imbalances that threatened a civil war and the collapse of the state, taking Lenin's New Economic Policy as a basis for reforms, a symbiosis of personal interest and the interests of the state - regulation of business and trade, personal interest, government incentives and support for entrepreneurship.
        Everything that the government of the Russian Federation does under President V.V. Putin with the only difference that reforms in the PRC are under the control and leadership of the Communist Party, the party of the proletariat, and in the Russian Federation - on V.V. Putin, who is outside the parties and how by itself. This is fraught with big problems in the future. big business dreams of getting out of the control of the state and becoming over it, making the state an instrument of its enrichment, as is the case in the "democratic" states of the West. What this leads to is shown by numerous statistical data and various unbiased studies. Anton Gutterisch, UN Secretary General, spoke of growing inequality as a global trend when the 26 richest people own as much wealth as half of the world's population, and the fortune of 72 million people (1% of the world's population) exceeded that of the rest of the world.

          separating the party assets from the population

          "Pupation and self-production of elites" in the absence (with destruction) of a system of political checks and balances.
          In this matter, we are also cheerfully marching along the path of the USSR.

          Quote: Jacques Sekavar
          and in the Russian Federation - on V.V. Putin, who is outside the parties and, as it were, on his own

          A comfortable position, right? Barely, it is the "evil boyars" who are to blame. Well, or governors, as in the case of "antique" restrictions request
