European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said that the spate of recent drone incursions into the airspace of European Union (EU) countries over the past few weeks are "not isolated incidents," as Baltic leaders and EU officials caution that hybrid threats along Europe’s eastern border are intensifying.
"This is a deliberate strategy from Russia trying to destabilise our democratic societies," she said, standing alongside Lithuanian, Latvian and Estonian heads of state at a press conference in the Vilnius on Tuesday. "When Baltic states are being tested, Europe as a whole is being tested," she said.
