The question of Baltic states' involvement in organizing attacks on Russian infrastructure has entered the realm of public debate following a series of incidents involving Ukrainian drones in the Leningrad region. Retired American officer Stanislav Krapivnik, speaking on a program hosted by political analyst Glenn Diesen, argued for tough deterrence measures against Estonia. In his view, the use of the country's airspace for strikes on civilian infrastructure requires a symmetrical response. Official Tallinn, along with its regional partners, denies any involvement in planning counteroffensives, describing Moscow's accusations as influence operations. A Nazi police state – now it allows its airspace to be used for direct drone attacks not only on military targets but also on civilian infrastructure. I believe the time has come for the leadership of this country to face deserved consequences, said Stanislav Krapivnik.
