"So far, we have not even heard any statements regarding the European states' desire to get to the bottom of this; so far, they have been firing from the hip," Dmitry Peskov said. According to him, the incident itself and the Belarusian authorities' statements that followed "must be an object of some attempt to comprehend and understand what has happened."

Dmitry Peskov also noted that the Kremlin sees no reason not to trust Belarus' explanations about its actions in the situation with the Ryanair incident. "As far as we understand, it did not land the plane on its own initiative. It was guided by the appropriate rules in case of a threat. We see no reason not to trust the Belarusian side," Dmitry Peskov stressed.
