European Commission concerned over suspicious flights between Minsk and Benghazi
The European news network Euractiv reported that the European Commission has launched an investigation into a series of 'suspicious' flights operated by the Belarusian airline Belavia between the Belarusian capital, Minsk, and the Libyan city of Benghazi. The network, citing senior European diplomatic sources, pointed to growing suspicions of Russian involvement in coordinating these flights and potentially facilitating irregular migration to Europe. The report referenced Russia's suspected role during the 2021 migration crisis, when Belarus allegedly enabled the movement of migrants through Eastern Europe, particularly along the borders with Poland, Latvia, and Lithuania, by organizing flights that transported migrants from the Middle East and North Africa. The network also highlighted the extent of European fears that Russia may be applying the same strategy again—this time through Libya—leading to increased migrant arrivals and efforts to destabilize the European continent.
