Finnish President Alexander Stubb warned about recent drone incursions in the Baltic region, highlighting gaps in regional security preparedness amid the ongoing Ukraine war with Russia. Incidents involved Ukrainian drones entering Finnish airspace earlier in May 2026. The events were described as a paradox where defense is needed against drones provided to Ukraine. The incursions were considered a serious concern, though damage was limited. Ukraine characterized the incursions as unintentional and attributed them to GPS jamming. Stubb called for stronger NATO coordination and urged increased investment in modern defense systems such as drones and missile defense capabilities.
