Belarus's audacious snatching of Roman Protasevich from a Ryanair flight forced to land as it passed through Belarusian airspace has raised fears for the young journalist's safety and created a crisis for the European Union.
The bloc has responded to the unprecedented move with anger, condemnation and sanctions. But is Belarus under President Alexander Lukashenko, who stayed in power last year only with support from Russia, beyond European influence? And is there any hope for Protasevich's release?
Guests: Dan McLaughlin and Naomi O'Leary.
Presented by Sorcha Pollak
Produced by Declan Conlon and Suzanne Brennan
