Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha has announced that Ukraine will assist Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia in countering Russian disinformation and accusations surrounding the use of airspace by Ukrainian drones.

Sybiha emphasized the growing information warfare by Russia in the Baltic countries.

“The Russians are particularly active in spreading disinformation in the Baltic states. They are sending the message that you have provided your airspace for the use of Ukrainian drones. There are also other aspects,” he said.

The Minister further stated that the Baltic nations have requested Ukraine’s help in de-escalating the tension caused by Russia’s threats.

“Of course, we will help our friends,” Sybiha confirmed.

In a related development, Estonia’s foreign intelligence service has issued a warning about the need for Europe to enhance its defense and internal security to prevent Russia from perceiving an opportunity to challenge NATO.

Kaupo Rosin, head of the Estonian intelligence service, stressed that “Europe must invest in defense and internal security so that… in the future, Russia would conclude it has no chance against NATO countries.”
