Stray Ukrainian drones everywhere.
In the last weeks, an uptick in Ukrainian drone attacks has battered several Russian regions, including Moscow.
But these massive attacks are creating a parallel effect of stray Kiev regime drones straying into allied Baltic nations and crashing there.
Whether this happens because of Russian electronic warfare or some other factor, these wayward drones are starting to cause trouble to the struck nations.
Three days ago, Latvian Prime Minister Evika Silina ended up resigning following a political crisis over Russia-bound Ukrainian drones straying into their territory.
And yesterday (17), a ‘suspected’ Ukrainian military drone was found crashed in Lithuania, the Tallinn government’s National Crisis Management Centre said.

Reuters reported:
“The drone was not detected when it entered Lithuania, and was not armed with explosives, the chief of the center Vilmantas Vitkauskas told reporters.
The drone was found crashed at the village of Samane, the center said, which is 40 kilometers from the Latvian border and 55 kilometers from Belarus. Kyiv has not yet commented on the issue.”
$ONDS the tone in the Baltics is getting noticeably sharper and more punchy
Lithuania isn’t just saying we need better air defense, more are they openly saying their airspace will not be used as a corridor for foreign drone strikes. that’s a much more direct and punchy stance… https://t.co/9IsMrouiTs pic.twitter.com/OcWcJDD1WU

“Since March, several stray Ukrainian drones have entered the air space of NATO members Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia which border Russia and its ally Belarus.
Kiev consistently said the stray drones were launched to strike military targets in Russia, but confused by Russian interference. Some of the drones crashed and exploded, including two drones which hit and caused fire at a Latvian oil storage facility on May 7.”
