Russia Accuses Baltic States of Aiding Ukrainian Drone Strikes in Baltic Sea

Nikolai Patrushev, aide to the Russian president and chairman of the Maritime Board, stated in an interview with Rossiyskaya Gazeta that neighboring countries have become complicit in Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian ports in the Baltic Sea. Claims of Drone Launches from Baltic Sea Vessels According to Patrushev, Ukrainian drones may be launched from the decks of ships in the Baltic Sea. "Even if Ukrainian drones are launched from the decks of vessels in the Baltic Sea, consider this: the distance from Ukraine's northern borders to the Leningrad Region exceeds 1,400 kilometers. Such a route requires careful planning and, at the very least, the consent of the leadership of the countries it passes over,” he said.
