Lithuania’s defence minister warns that Russia could plan a false-flag operation involving drones originally from Ukraine. According to the Lithuanian government, Moscow might use recovered or captured Ukrainian drone parts to carry out an attack on critical infrastructure in the Baltic region. The concern is that such an operation would be designed to misattribute responsibility and create uncertainty about who is behind any incident. Lithuania links the warning to broader regional and alliance dynamics, saying the aim could be to weaken support for Ukraine among NATO partners. Both outlets report the same core allegation: Lithuania believes Russia is considering a scenario in which Ukrainian drone components are used to stage an attack that is meant to look like it was carried out by another party. The reports do not provide independent confirmation of the alleged plan, and they do not detail specific targets, timing, or the evidence Lithuania says supports its assessment. Still, Lithuania has publicly raised the possibility as a security concern for Baltic infrastructure.
