Russia has accused the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania of being involved in drone attacks from Ukraine. The allegations from Moscow aim to portray the three EU and NATO members as complicit in the attacks. The specific drone incidents to which Russia refers have not been further specified by official sources.
Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania immediately rejected the accusations. The governments of the three countries emphasized that they do not support or tolerate any attacks against Russia. They see the Russian statements as an attempt to divert attention from its own aggression and to destabilize the security situation in the region.
The Baltic states have turned to the European Union and NATO for political backing. Both organizations have expressed solidarity with the members and dismissed the Russian allegations as unfounded. NATO stressed its alliance commitment to the Baltic states.
