  • 23 May – Ryanair Flight 4978 incident: Flight 4978, a Boeing 737 aircraft operated by Ryanair, was an international passenger flight from Athens to Vilnius that was diverted to Minsk National Airport by the Belarusian Air Force, citing a bomb threat, which was later deemed false. The flight was carrying Belarusian opposition journalist Roman Protasevich, who was subsequently arrested upon landing in Minsk. The incident sparked international outrage, with many condemning Belarus for its actions, which were seen as a violation of international aviation rules and human rights. Belarus faced severe diplomatic repercussions, including sanctions imposed by the European Union and other countries.[2]
