It is not that clear that Russia all that happy about the incident. A girlfriend of Roman Protasevich, who is a Russian citizen, was also detained and that already caused PR issues for Kremlin.

Plus there is even comments from Russia’s Duma about how this can be damaging for Russia.

No, the head propagandists (RT's Simonyan, Solovyev) are ecstatic and can't stop congratulating KGB.
Protasevich was tracked in many countries before he entered this plane, tracked by someone doing that very professionally engaging a lot of resources. It is hard to imagine Belarus was doing this alone, without Russia support.
