Are the Russians launching a new refugee airline just in time for Christmas?
Apparently yes: from Minsk to Istanbul. Start: Saturday, December 23rd, 5:20 a.m.!
According to BILD information, Polish security authorities are explicitly warning of a “new, organized rush of refugees via Russia and Belarus”. According to BILD information, the new flight connection via the supposedly Turkish airline “Southwind” is part of it.
Tickets at a bargain price
Belarusian authorities announced this Friday: “The Turkish charter airline Southwind Airlines is introducing direct flights between the largest cities in Belarus and Turkey.” Bargain price: 700 Belarus rubles (approx. 195 euros).
The airline's advantage over Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko's (69) state airline "Belavia": "Southwind" wants to fly two hours less per route than the Belarusian "Belavia", which is under EU sanctions.
The reason: The supposed Turkish airline can take the direct route via Poland. The Belarusians have to make a mega arc over Russia. Turkish Airlines canceled its Minsk connections under pressure from Europe.

But apparently only the company’s headquarters on the “Southwind” is Turkish:
▶︎“Southwind Airlines”, based in Antalya, Turkey, was founded shortly after the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Three of their aircraft and most of their staff come from “Nordwind Airlines”, a Russian airline based in Moscow.
▶︎ In a roundabout way, the airline is owned by the Russian company “Pegas Touristik”, which belongs to a Russian couple with partly Turkish roots.
▶︎ Belarusian exiled journalists suspect that the airline only serves to circumvent the sanctions against Russia.
▶︎ Polish authorities are certain: the deal serves the interests of Kremlin despot Vladimir Putin (71) .

According to internal information from the Polish Ministry of the Interior, there is an “exorbitant” potential for the targeted smuggling of illegal refugees to Western Europevia the new airline.
This corresponds to reports from the Polish Security Cabinet at the end of last week. Accordingly, Russia and Belarus would intensify their “hybrid operation”, which is intended to exacerbate the migration and thus the political crisis in Western countries – especially Germany.
While Belarus dictator Lukashenko traveled to Dubai for the world climate summit, there was a temporary relaxation on the Poland/Belarus border. But after the dictator's return, Polish authorities reported a rapid increase to up to 100 border violations every day.
One of the reasons: It was pointed out in Arabic social networks that Germany would introduce stricter asylum and border rules. Polish authorities are therefore expecting a kind of last-minute rush - both at the border and via the new Istanbul-Minsk airline.
