It is a fact that Russia has been attacking and influencing the politics of it’s neighbors for the last decades
Every single country in the world has been doing this since the invention of politics. the US has literally military bases in most countries, but you don't seem as worried about them despite they are the one who waged infinite wars for the past 70 years.
It’s hard to believe that they didn’t eye the possibility of grabbing land of european countries before they got bogged down in Ukraine.
It's easier to believe when you look at the history of Russia, their claims (believable or not, their claims is their justifications toward their own people, so they have to stick to those). the fact that attacking an alliance of 30 countries is insane and unsellable to the Russians, that a War with europe will cut completely disrupt commerce and that will be devastating for the Russian economy itself, resulting in making Putin weaker and he definitely doesn't want that. Some more: Russia has spent billions in resources to build economical ties with Europe, like the north stream. It's unplausible that at the same time they plotted to attack the very alliance they spent decades building encomic ties with.
For this i demand Sources. You seem to have them, so it shouldn’t be an issue to provide?
Your skeptic tone seems to give for assumed that my sources are unreliable. Fair enough, i just wish you would apply the same skepticism also to the news you like. Anyway:
- Latvia’s Defense Minister Steps Down After Ukrainian Drones Hit Oil Tanks (Kyivpost)
- [List of Ukrainian incursions to Finnish and Baltic airspace in 2026 (Wikipedia)](2026 Ukrainian drone incursions into the Baltic states and Finland](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Ukrainian_drone_incursions_into_the_Baltic_states_and_Finland))
- The russian drone that hit the polish house and killed two people that was pushed for days on EU news? Was actually a polish missile
The damaging of the residential building in Wyryki caused a scandal domestically, with Prime Minister Donald Tusk being accused of attempting to cover up that the damage was caused by a Polish missile; furthermore, President Karol Nawrocki and the National Security Bureau had allegedly not been informed of the Polish origin of the missile.[42]
While there is no doubt that some Russian drones are jammed and fall on NATO or EU countries. There is no proof, only political speculation, about these drones being sent on purpose by Russia to attack. What we know for sure is that, so far, the drones that created real damages were all Ukrainian. You are free to justify this, but changing the facts because more convenient that way is propaganda.
