⚡️ There has been a rise in cases of Ukrainian drones flying through Finland and the Baltic states to strike Russia, and in such circumstances the UN Charter’s article on the right to self-defense may apply, Russian Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu said.
“In recent times, there has been an increasing number of cases in which Ukrainian drones have carried out strikes on Russia by flying through Finland and the Baltic states. As a result, civilians are suffering and significant damage is being inflicted on civilian infrastructure,” Shoigu said, according to a statement from the Russian Security Council’s press service. ✈️
He said that either Western air defense systems are proving extremely ineffective, or those countries are deliberately providing their airspace — meaning they are acting as open accomplices in aggression against Russia.
“In the latter case, under international law, Article 51 of the UN Charter comes into force, affirming the inherent right of states to self-defense in the event of an armed attack,” Shoigu said.
