Russia is deliberately targeting Ukrainian drones at NATO countries

Russian electronic warfare (EW) means are deliberately distracting Ukrainian drones from their targets on Russian territory, directing them towards neighboring states.

Ukraine has officially confirmed its readiness to involve its specialists in protecting the airspace of Latvia, Finland, and other Baltic countries.

I just had another exchange with @Braze_Baiba about the recent drone incidents in Latvia.

The investigations proved that this was the result of Russian electronic warfare deliberately diverting Ukrainian drones from their targets in Russia.
I reaffirmed Ukraine’s willingness…
Recall that in recent days the situation in the airspace of the Baltic states has significantly worsened due to provocations by the Russian Federation. In particular, on the night of May 7, several Russian drones violated the border of Latvia, and one of them hit an oil tank in the city of Rezekne.
After this incident, Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga stated that Ukraine and Latvia are in constant contact, and the competent authorities of both countries are exchanging information to clarify all the circumstances.
In this regard, Ukraine has officially proposed sending its specialists to the Baltic states. Our experts have unique experience in countering Russian electronic warfare and technical analysis of UAV trajectories, which will help allies strengthen the security of their borders.
