The Finnish Armed Forces did not shoot down Ukrainian drones because of their proximity to Russia. This is reported by Ilta-Sanomat with reference to the military.
"According to the army's communications unit, in peacetime, intercepting drones is impossible if it could affect the border zone or the airspace of another state," the newspaper writes.
The incident occurred on Sunday night in the area of Virolahti. Two unknown drones were recorded there. Prior to that, the country's Defense Ministry reported a suspected violation of airspace.
On the same day, a temporary ban was imposed on flights over the eastern part of the Gulf of Finland — off the coast of Kotka and Hamina. As noted, this was done in order to simplify the response to possible threats and the restriction of other air traffic.
According to the publication, the model and origin of the drones have not yet been established. However, we remind that yesterday at a meeting in Yerevan, Prime Minister Petteri Orpo warned the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, about the "inadmissibility" of the invasion of Ukrainian drones into Finnish airspace and advised Finns to sleep peacefully at night.
As EADaily reported, Prime Minister Petteri Orpo discussed with Vladimir Zelensky the next flight of Ukrainian drones to Finland. He told this to the public broadcaster Yle.
