Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha: "I was glad to speak with my good friend and colleague from Latvia Baiba Braže.  

We are in close contact with Latvia over the recent drone incidents, and our competent authorities are sharing information to get to the bottom of what happened.  

If there is a confirmation that those were Ukrainian drones that were deliberately knocked off course and directed toward Latvia by Russia’s electronic warfare, we will offer our most sincere apologies to our Latvian friends. What can be stated with full confidence is that Ukraine never directed any drones toward Latvia. 

We have already expressed our apologies to all three Baltic states, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, as well as Finland, for the unintended incidents that were caused by Russia’s EW systems redirecting Ukrainian drones. 

Our specialized institutions are working closely together to minimize risks of such incidents repeating.  

Under President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s instructions, we are also considering a possibility of sending Ukrainian expert teams to help directly strengthen the airspace security of our Baltic friends against any types of incidents".
