Baltic leaders say Protasevich’s capture was a message to other Belarusians abroad. Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda told The Washington Post he read the move as: “Guys, look, we will catch you everywhere, no matter where you are — in the air, under the water or hiding in the forest. We will catch you. And even if you fly from one capital of the European Union to another capital of the European Union, we are able to catch you, too.”
