Russia's threats against Baltic states are 'unacceptable', von der Leyen says

​Russian ​threats to ‌the Baltic countries ​are "unacceptable" and will be ‌seen as threats to the whole European Union, Commission President Ursula ‌von der Leyen said on ‌Wednesday. "Russia's public threats against our Baltic States are completely unacceptable," ⁠von ​der ⁠Leyen said in a post ⁠on X.

"A threat against one ​member state is a threat ⁠against our entire union." Von der ⁠Leyen ​said Russia and Belarus had "direct responsibility for drones ⁠endangering the lives and security ⁠of people" ⁠on the EU's eastern flank.
