Russia may apply Article 51 of the UN Charter to the Baltic States and Finland. This was stated by the Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Sergei Shoigu.

If the Baltic states and Finland deliberately provide their skies for Ukrainian drones, they are open accomplices of aggression against Russia, he noted.

"Recently, cases have become more frequent when Ukrainian drone strikes against Russia are carried out through Finland and the Baltic countries. As a result, civilians are suffering, significant damage is being done to civilian infrastructure," Shoigu said, quoted by journalist Vladimir Solovyov.

In this regard, Article 51 of the UN Charter on the inalienable right of states to self-defense in the event of an armed attack may be invoked, he warned.

As reported by EADaily, the production sites of Ukrainian UAVs in Europe are potential targets of the Russian Armed Forces. This was stated in the social network by the deputy chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev.

So he commented on the statement of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation concerning the "Ukrainian" and joint ventures for the production of shock UAVs in Europe. The agency published the addresses of these enterprises, recommending Europeans to stay away from them.

Recall, the drone that fell in the Finnish city of Kouvola could not have been launched from Ukraine. This was stated by Yle expert engineer retired Colonel Yuri Kosola.
