“Belarusian President Lukashenko dismissed two military chiefs for “failing to ensure national security” in the wake of the stunt. Two civilians accused of aiding the Swedish airplane pilots have also been arrested.

“There should be no violations of border breaching. All of them must be prevented with all available measures, including arms, no matter what,” Lukashenko said.

The Belarusian Foreign Ministry also denied that Ericsson had been expelled, and issued a statement saying that “it was decided not to prolong [the Ambassador’s] accreditation”.

Ericsson’s was aiming at “ruining Belarusian-Swedish relations rather than strengthening them,” Ministry press secretary Andrey Savinykh alleged.

Officials had allegedly obtained documented evidence of Stefan Ericsson’s “illegal behavior” in the country, Belarusian state TV channel ONT broadcast Friday night: “The ambassador Ericsson personally handed the money to representatives of the Belarusian extremist organizations, who were preparing for a coup to overthrow Belarus’ government.”

The broadcast also alleged that the Swedish embassy was also being used to train individuals from radical groups, including “how to organize mass disturbances, riots and attack police.”

the response from belarus is an effective way to deal with these kinds of foreign criminal subversion.
