Quote: "Viktor Yanukovych's Dassault Falcon 900C (RA-09617) landed at Gomel airport at 12:50."

Details: Analysts do not indicate who might be on board, but note that Yanukovych last visited Belarus in March 2022. At that time, Ukrainska Pravda's intelligence sources reported that the Kremlin was preparing Yanukovych for a special operation – following one of the scenarios, they could try to declare him "president of Ukraine".
