Nikolai Patrushev, aide to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and head of Russia's Maritime Board, has claimed that the Baltic states and Finland are allegedly participating in attacks on Russian territory by providing their airspace for Ukrainian drones to fly through. This is reported by UNN with reference to Russian media.
Details
According to Patrushev, "Kyiv's special services, with the help of NATO, are harming Russia's ports and merchant fleet."
The provision of airspace by the Baltic states and Finland for the flight of attack UAVs means the direct participation of NATO member states in attacks on Russian territory and infrastructure. With all the conclusions and consequences
He added that such support allows strikes on objects of "non-military maritime infrastructure" and Russia's merchant fleet, including ports in the Leningrad region. As Patrushev said, the distance from the northern borders of Ukraine to the Leningrad region exceeds 1,400 kilometers, and drones cannot cover such a route without the consent of NATO countries over whose territory it passes.
Recall
According to the Center for Countering Disinformation of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, at least 30% of the tanks in the Ust-Luga port were damaged as a result of drone attacks. This facility provides almost 40% of Russia's total oil exports.
