Russia is considering staging a false-flag attack against critical infrastructure in the Baltics using Ukrainian drones in an attempt to discredit Kyiv and weaken NATO's backing for Ukraine, Lithuania's defence minister, Robertas Kaunas, has warned.
“We are talking about a potential false-flag operation where a fake Ukrainian drone could be used,” he said during a press briefing. “That’s the most realistic current scenario."
For such an attack, parts of Ukrainian drones that were launched against military and energy targets inside Russia could be used.
