Lithuanian Intelligence Warns Russia Could Use Captured Ukrainian Drones for Baltic Provocations

Lithuanian intelligence officials believe Russia could be weighing the use of captured Ukrainian-made drones to stage provocations targeting the Baltic region. The concern is that Moscow might employ the drones in operations intended to mislead observers and create the appearance of Ukrainian involvement, raising regional and NATO-related tensions. Officials described the scenario as a potential escalation risk, linked to broader Russian efforts to destabilize surrounding countries and exploit confusion in real time. Investigators are monitoring related incidents for patterns consistent with the threat.
