Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin has alleged that Riga and other capitals within the Baltic region are facilitating the passage of drones targeting Russia. According to reports from the independent publication The Moscow Times, Galuzin stated that he referenced confirmed data suggesting that Latvia and other Baltic republics have opened their air corridors to Ukrainian drones attacking Russian civilian infrastructure. Galuzin made these claims without presenting supporting evidence.
These remarks follow a recent Ukrainian drone strike on Saturday night, which targeted multiple facilities near St. Petersburg. The attack impacted the Vysocko port, Kronstadt, and an oil terminal.
This particular terminal, which possesses an annual capacity of 12.5 million tons, reportedly sustained several sources of fire following the incident. The statements from the Russian official follow calls from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who has urged active international assistance in response to such events. The focus of the allegations centers on the alleged complicity of the Baltic states in allowing drone incursions into Russia’s airspace.
The claims raise international questions regarding the sovereignty and security of the Baltic nations in relation to the ongoing conflict involving Russia.
