Baltic states reject Moscow's drone claims
Estonian Foreign Ministry
The foreign ministers of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania
issued a joint statement rejecting Moscow’s accusations that the Baltic
countries allowed Ukraine to use their airspace for drone strikes on
Russian territory.
The statement, posted on the Estonian Foreign Ministry website on April 10, said the ministers “categorically reject the ongoing Russian disinformation campaign against our countries as entirely baseless. The Baltic countries have never allowed their territories or airspace to be used for drone attacks against targets in Russia.”
“The Baltic States have officially refuted these allegations by clearly communicating this to the Charges d’Affaires of Russian diplomatic missions in Tallinn (27 March), Riga (31 March) and Vilnius (27 March), respectively,” the message added.
“Notwithstanding the official reaction, Russia has continued lying.”
“Ukraine continues to defend itself against Russia’s full-scale war of aggression, fully in accordance with Article 51 of the UN Charter,” the statement said.
“Instead of continuing its malign information operation,
Russia must end its war of aggression against Ukraine and fully withdraw its
armed forces from all internationally recognized territory of Ukraine. Baltic
States remain in full solidarity with Ukraine.”
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
