Here is a new statement published 45 minutes ago: https://twitter.com/RyanairPress/status/1396767221058359299
And just updated Ryanair's statement still does not include info about two "arrested" (kidnapped!) passengers of FR4978 flight in Minsk...

Not sure why this story is getting so much attention on HN tbh. I guess the connection to Snowden makes it mildly relevant.
