Guardian News published this video item, entitled “Belarus hit with sanctions as world leaders react to ‘hijacked’ flight” – below is their description.

They have also called on their airlines to avoid the former Soviet republic’s airspace, while authorising work to ban Belarusian airlines from European skies and airports. ‘Belarus used its control over its airspace in order to perpetrate a state hijacking, therefore the safety and security of flights through Belarus airspace can no longer be trusted,’ said the head of the bloc’s executive, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen
