VILNIUS/STOCKHOLM/LONDON ¨C Ukrainian drones have strayed into Baltic countries¡¯ airspace in recent weeks, sowing confusion and raising tensions with Russia at a time when U.S. commitment to NATO¡¯s collective security is in question.
The airspace incursions have occurred as Ukraine, seeking to land heavier blows on Russia four years after Moscow¡¯s full-scale invasion, uses exploding drones to hit Russian Baltic ports that handle nearly 40% of national oil and gas exports.
In most cases, Kyiv and the Baltic states have confirmed the stray drones are Ukrainian but have blamed Russia for causing them to deviate from their flight path with ?the use of electronic defenses that jam or spoof signals.
