DRONES BREACH NATO AIRSPACE
Moscow drew fresh condemnation on Sunday after its drones were detected in Latvia and Romania, both NATO and EU members.
A “Russian military drone … crashed in the eastern part of Latvia yesterday. There is an ongoing investigation,” Latvian President Edgars Rinkevics said on X, formerly Twitter.
Romania said a Russian attack drone targeting civilian infrastructure in Ukraine overnight had entered its airspace.
“NATO must respond to the fact that Russian ‘Shaheds’ feel free to fly in the airspace of European countries. They need to be shot down,” Andriy Yermak, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s chief of staff, said on Telegram, referring to the Iranian-style self-detonating drones.
Zelenskyy himself on Sunday also urged Kyiv’s partners to give him more scope to use Western-supplied weapons against targets inside Russia.
“In just one week, Russia has used over 800 guided aerial bombs, nearly 300 Shahed drones, and more than 60 missiles of various types against our people,” he said in a Facebook post.
“Terror can only be reliably stopped in one way: by striking Russian military airfields, their bases, and the logistics of Russian terror,” he said.
