Vladimir Putin backs Belarus' Lukashenko | DW News
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko met with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on Friday for talks on closer economic ties.
At the meeting in the Black Sea resort Sochi, Lukashenko said that Belarusian economy was "moving along normally."
"Well, there are always those who want to cause us trouble," Lukashenko added, apparently referring to Western governments. Hailing his "trusting relationship" with Putin, Lukashenko said he brought documents to show to the Russian president "so you understand what kind of people they are."
He also said there was "an attempt to devolve the situation to the level of August last year," referring to mass protests against his rule. The protests were sparked by an election his political opponents and Western nations decried as stolen. "It is just clear what our Western friends want from us," Lukashenko told Putin. The meeting between the two leaders comes as the European Commission said Belarus could have access to a €3 billion aid package if the country moved to "a democratic transition."

Russia denies political motive for flight block | DW News
Austrian Airlines said it canceled a cargo-passenger flight from Vienna to Moscow on Thursday.
Flight OS601 from Vienna was scheduled to arrive in Moscow on time, but the board at Domodedovo airport listed the flight as canceled. Earlier, the airline had refused to transit through Belarusian airspace on the way to Moscow. The European Union has urged its airlines to avoid Belarus and its airspace following Sunday's forced landing in Minsk of a Ryanair plane and the arrest of dissident journalist Raman Pratasevich.
Vienna called on Moscow to clarify its position and added that all flights over and to Russia should be able to continue without problems.
Earlier, AirFrance also reported canceled flights to the Russian capital.
Russia's federal aviation agency Rosaviatsiya has told airlines that changes to routes from Europe to Russia due to a political row over Belarus may result in longer clearance times, issues described by the Kremlin on Friday as "technical".
