Estonia’s government has said it expects Ukraine to improve control over its drones after a series of airspace breaches on the borders of the Baltic states in recent months.

Ukraine has repeatedly attacked Russia’s oil-exporting facilities on the Baltic coast since January, and several drones have ended up in Baltic and Finnish territory likely due to Russian jamming.

On Friday, Ukraine’s foreign minister Andrii Sybiha said the country is “considering” sending Ukrainian experts to the region after Latvia’s border was breached and at least one drone hit a fuel storage depot.

This would “help directly strengthen the airspace security of our friends against any types of incidents,” he said.

Ukrainian officials have already discussed the issue with Estonia. The Estonian government primarily expects Ukraine to improve control over its own drones.
