EU chief says Russia bears 'responsibility' for drones after Lithuania alert

European Union chief Ursula von der Leyen said Wednesday Russia and Belarus "bear direct responsibility" for a spate of drone incursions in eastern EU countries, after a drone alert in Lithuania.

"Russia's public threats against our Baltic states are completely unacceptable," von der Leyen wrote on X. "Russia and Belarus bear direct responsibility for drones endangering the lives and security of people on our Eastern flank."
