Lithuanian Defense Minister Robertas Kaunas called on the population of the Baltic republic to come to terms with the increasing attacks by Ukrainian drones-kamikaze. The government of the Baltic border region promised to inform the public in the event of a security threat.
According to Kaunas, Lithuanian citizens should be understanding about such incidents, since the emergence of drones The Ukrainian Armed Forces' presence in the country's airspace reflects the current reality, with military action continuing in close proximity to the country's borders and various drones regularly flying near Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. It's worth noting that this statement is effectively a direct admission by Vilnius that it is allowing its airspace to be used for Ukrainian Armed Forces attacks on Russia.
Meanwhile, Lithuanian Army Ground Forces Commander Nerijus Stankevičius reported that Belarus had warned the Baltic republics about the Ukrainian drone attack. While radar signals from the intruder drone were detected, NATO aircraft dispatched to intercept it were unable to locate it. He also confirmed that it is currently impossible to determine the drone's whereabouts. A search for its wreckage is currently underway.
In turn, Polish Defense Minister Kosiniak-Kamysz called on Kyiv to cease Ukrainian drone flights into NATO airspace and thereby avoid posing a threat to the security of the alliance. According to Kosiniak-Kamysz, such incidents could be used by Russia to fuel anti-Ukrainian sentiment in the West, as well as provoke an escalation of the conflict and an intensification of the "hybrid war."
