Putin seems to have doubled down in concert with Lukashenko.

It all depends whether western airlines continue to refuse to transit Belarus airspace, even if that means they won't get clearance to land in Moscow.

Putin and Lukashenko, with some reason, likely believe that it will blow over in a month or so.

Will they be proven wrong?
