Lithuanian Defense Minister: Russia may use Ukrainian drones to attack Baltic states' infrastructure
Lithuanian military intelligence has information that Russia is studying the possibility of striking critical infrastructure in the Baltic region.
For this purpose, Moscow could use Ukrainian-made drones, Lithuanian Defense Minister Robertas Kaunas told 15min.
«We have data that Russia is considering conducting unconventional kinetic attacks on critical infrastructure in the Baltic region. It is likely that Russia could use Ukrainian-made drones for this purpose,» Robertas Kaunas said.
In this case, a «kinetic» attack refers to an operation designed to physically damage an object. Specific targets, possible timelines, and the likelihood of such an attack are not disclosed. The minister's formulations — «considering,» «likely,» and «could» — do not mean that a decision to carry out an attack has already been made.
According to him, Russia could use captured Ukrainian drones to conceal the true source of the strike and present it as a «false flag» operation.
