I think in this context they basically mean that there are no countries in which a fake bomb threat against an airliner isn't illegal, so whoever did this, in whatever country they happened to be, committed a serious crime.

So someone from the Belarus intelligence service made a call to Ryanair and made a bomb threat. What can Ireland or any other jurisdiction do about it? Pretty much nothing, especially if the call originated in Belarus.

Committed a serious crime? Sure. Will there be actual consequences for that individual? Unlikely.
