Overview
- The three governments, which issued a joint statement Friday, rejected Russia’s allegation that their territory or airspace enabled Ukrainian drone attacks on Russia.
- The foreign ministers said they had already delivered formal denials to Russian chargés d’affaires in Tallinn and Vilnius on March 27 and in Riga on March 31.
- Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry has apologized to the Baltic states and Finland, saying stray drones most likely veered off course due to Russian electronic‑warfare jamming that disrupts navigation signals.
- Lithuania’s prime minister reported a Ukrainian drone crash on March 24, and Latvia’s president confirmed a separate crash in the Kraslava region on March 25.
- The statement says Ukraine is acting in self‑defense under Article 51 of the UN Charter and urges Russia to end its war and withdraw, framing the dispute as part of a wider information campaign.
