Another drone. Another air alert in the Baltics. This time - near Lithuania’s border with Belarus. #NATO Baltic Air Policing was activated. These drone incidents don’t exist in isolation. The growing wave of drone violations across the Baltic states is a direct consequence of Russia’s war against #Ukraine and #Belarus’ complicity in it. Moscow and Minsk are responsible for breaches of our airspace and threats to civilian safety. Meanwhile, Russia continues its information offensive - falsely accusing Baltic states of enabling drone strikes against Russia. Lithuania has never allowed its territory or airspace to be used for such attacks. The NATO& EU response cannot stay symbolic: -NATO’s relevant capabilities - Eastern Sentry and Baltic Sentry missions - must be reinforced - EU Eastern Flank Watch initiative must be implemented& Special EU instrument for resilience of Eastern Flank urgently created
- NATO’s frontline needs air defense& stronger counter-drone capabilities
- EU critical infrastructure protection must be strengthened, as well as measures to counter Kremlin’s propaganda narratives

Full 🇱🇹 support!
We strongly condemn today’s attack on the Barakah nuclear power plant in the UAE, which is a blatant violation of international law and a threat to security and stability in the region. The protection of nuclear facilities everywhere is non negotiable.

#Iran’s strikes on civilian infrastructure in the #UAE are unacceptable and unjustified. I extend my full solidarity with the United Arab Emirates and all those affected. The region cannot move forward while the Iranian regime continues to fuel instability. De-escalation, safeguarding freedom of navigation and diplomacy are essential to allow people across the region to live in peace, security and stability.
