Latvian Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs told Estonian ERR News that Ukrainian experts will be arriving in the Baltic states next week to help deter the threat posed by repeated drone violations.

Multiple Ukrainian drones have breached Latvia's airspace this year, likely pushed off course by GPS jamming as Russia tries to protect its oil infrastructure from Kyiv's attacks.

On Monday, a drone was shot down in Latvian airspace by a French jet deployed to Lithuania's Baltic Air Policing mission.

Kyiv has said it will send experts to the region to help combat the problem.

Kulbergs, who took office this week after the last government collapsed partly due to the issue, signed a "drone deal" with Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the sidelines of the Nordic Baltic prime ministers' summit in Tallinn on Tuesday.
