The European Commission states that the root cause of the incident involving a Ukrainian drone in Finnish airspace is exclusively Russia, which is waging an aggressive war against Ukraine.

Anitta Hipper, spokesperson for EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas, commented on the recent incident involving a Ukrainian drone that entered Finnish territory.

"From a diplomatic point of view, our message is clear, and the High Representative has always insisted on emphasizing this message: even when drones fly over EU member states, the main culprit here is Russia. Without Russia, this would not have happened, so this is issue number one," she said.

Hipper also confirmed that an informal meeting of the Foreign Affairs Council will be held in Ukraine on March 31. "It will also be used not only to honor the memory of all the terrible tragedies in Bucha but also to again rally support for Ukraine. And we strive to support Ukraine when it comes to both its security and defense and its need to defend itself in everything," the spokesperson emphasized.

In turn, EC official representative Thomas Regnier noted that the European Commission is "well aware of what happened and is monitoring it closely." "Let me remind you that the fight against these drone incursions is the competence of the member state. Of course, we are very concerned about these drone incursions. That is why at the European level, we have taken a number of measures to strengthen the capabilities of our member states," he added.
