U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio expressed Washington's concern regarding Russia's campaign against the Baltic states and the risk of escalation, following Moscow's accusations of these countries collaborating with Ukraine for drone attacks.

Marco Rubio, the American Secretary of State, stated on Friday that Washington is concerned about Russia's campaign against the Baltic states, in the context of recent accusations from Moscow that these states are collaborating with Ukraine for drone attacks. The statements were made after the NATO foreign ministers' meeting held in Sweden, and come amid security incidents and airspace violations in the region.

Rubio emphasized that the situation is "worrisome" and that the U.S. is closely monitoring developments, collaborating with NATO to prevent a broader conflict. In recent months, Ukraine has intensified drone attacks on Russia, and recent incidents, including the interception of drones in the airspace of Lithuania and Latvia, have raised fears of escalation. The Latvian government resigned last week due to its handling of these incursions, and tensions continue to rise in the region.
