Date & time: Tuesday, 25 May at 6:00PM CET / 12:00PM ET
Format: Online discussion
Join us for a discussion with Joerg Forbrig and Serge Kharytonau on the pressing issue of the hijacking of the Ryanair flight and the kidnapping of Roman Protasevich by Belarus. The shocking actions taken by Belarusian authorities to arrest one of the main opposition journalists living in exile evoked a strong initial response from the EU leaders but will this event lead to more sanctions put on Belarus?
In the discussion, we will touch on the international reaction to the recent events, Biden’s agenda for his visit to Europe in June and the resilience of Belarusian society after nearly 10 months of the protests. Is it still possible to save Roman Protasevich and what is the best way to do it?
