The cost of new sanctions to Belarus pushed by Landsbergiukas

 A lot of money is spent in vain and a lot of gas that heats the climate.

"Belarus, in eastern-central Europe, is along a major air corridor between Europe and Asia.

Analysts had predicted that the E.U.  might be reluctant to ban flights over Belarus because such a move would create difficulties for European airlines. Already, airlines are avoiding Ukraine, the country’s southern neighbor, because of its conflict with Russia.

Putting Belarusian air space off limits as well presents serious routing difficulties for flights from Europe to Asia.

“Flying to Asia from Europe without crossing Belarus is likely too costly and challenging,” analysts from Eurasia Group, a research firm, wrote in a note on Monday."
