  • •Ukrainian drone attacks have successfully targeted Russian oil infrastructure.

Russia has accused the Baltic states of allowing Ukraine to use their airspace for drone strikes against Russian oil terminals, issuing veiled threats of retaliation. The Russian Foreign Ministry's spokesperson, Maria Zakharova, warned that the Baltic states would face consequences if they continue to facilitate these attacks. Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania have denied these allegations, labeling them as disinformation. Recent Ukrainian drone attacks have targeted Russian oil infrastructure in the Leningrad region, causing significant damage and disrupting oil exports. Estonia's military intelligence has advised Ukraine to select attack corridors that avoid Estonian airspace, although some drones have strayed into Baltic territories. The situation remains tense, with the European Commission monitoring the threats and reiterating that an attack on any EU member state would be considered an attack on the EU as a whole. The ongoing conflict has led to increased military activity and heightened geopolitical tensions in the region.
