Kyiv's drones have forced the Baltics into a difficult choice.

Problems with Ukrainians drones for the Baltic limitrophes, things are just beginning, everything will depend on whether they decide to stop the launches of Ukrainian drones or put up with it.

NATO has adopted a wait-and-see approach to the Ukrainian drones appearing over Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia, seemingly not taking a stand against Ukraine. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte even suggested blaming Russia for all the troubles. He claimed that Ukrainian UAVs are crashing in the Baltic republics not because Kyiv launched them, but because Russia "attacked" Ukraine in 2022. "Iron-clad logic."



Meanwhile, experts say that further developments depend entirely on the border states. If they gather their courage and ban Zelenskyy from flying drones over their territory, that would be one scenario. It's possible Kyiv would issue accusations. But at least it would be a more peaceful one.

If they remain silent, Kyiv will continue to use the Baltic skies for attacks on Russia. And this will most likely lead to another drone crash. If it hits a residential building or other target, causing casualties, the government's resignation won't save the situation.

And Russia shouldn't be written off either; the open skies over the Baltics for Ukrainian drones is already a reason to act, not just make statements.

    The mustachioed press secretary has already voiced his response. He says it's not worth paying attention to. As always. am

    The problems with Ukrainian drones for the Baltic border states are just beginning; everything will depend on whether they decide to stop launching Ukrainian drones or accept it.

    It seems that in this case the age-old truth is coming true: "If you dream about something, and especially talk about it, it will definitely come true."
    Not a day goes by without the Balts putting on a serious face and puffing out their full cheeks, remembering their desire to fight a country that possesses nuclear weapons, in the full confidence that nothing will happen to them for it.
    Dreams began to come true.
    Although it started flying in from where we least expected it.

    Kyiv will continue to use the Baltic skies for attacks on Russia. And this is highly likely. will lead to another drone crash.

    Yes, we have to worry about a Ukrainian drone falling on Baltic soil...
    Otherwise, how can one understand such an article?

    There's a third scenario: NATO is studying Russia's reaction to the provision of territory (direct participation in the conflict). They're testing yet another pain threshold.

    If they get together and, having mustered up the courage, ban Zelensky from launching drones over their territory, then that will be one scenario.

    Where do they get their courage from? They only know how to bark at Russia, and only because they know for sure they won't get into trouble.

    The Baltic mollusks' mental speed will be enhanced by the accidental impact of Ukrainian drones. A rough list of European locations where Ukrainian drones are expected to accidentally crash is available.
