Only a real threat of war will bring the Baltics to their senses – Shiryaev
The Baltic countries will stop allowing Ukrainian combat drones through their territory only when they themselves find themselves on the brink of war.
Russian liberal military expert Valery Shiryaev stated this in his video blog, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"Drones will be flying over the Baltics. Will Russia shoot down drones in Baltic airspace?" a viewer asked.
“Well, if they keep flying and flying and flying, and it becomes obvious to everyone, then yes, there will be a scandal, and the Baltic countries will be forced to react.
"And they'll shut down this drone influx. Because they don't need it at all. They lived without these drones—and they'll somehow continue to do so. So let Ukraine figure out how to fly on its own," Shiryaev said.
" I don't believe that if there are real threats, if the Baltic countries really are on the brink of war, they will continue to do so for Ukraine's sake. I think that's unlikely," the expert added.
