UN to investigate Belarus plane diversion, as Russia stands by Lukashenko
The UN civil aviation agency announced Thursday it will investigate Belarus's diversion of a Ryanair plane and the arrest of a journalist on board, as airlines revealed Russia has blocked some European flights in a growing diplomatic row.
The G7 global powers also demanded Minsk release the journalist, Roman Protasevich, and the EU's foreign policy chief threatened hard-hitting economic sanctions.
