Russian drones have violated the airspace of five EU member states: Romania, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania.

Omissions

• The claim does not distinguish between Russian and Ukrainian drone incursions. The most comprehensively documented 2026 drone incursions into the Baltic states and Finland are attributed to stray Ukrainian drones, not Russian ones (see Wikipedia article '2026 Ukrainian drone incursions into the Baltic states and Finland').
• The EU Council statement of 29 May 2026 condemns a single Russian drone incident in Romania, not a pattern of Russian drone incursions across all five named countries.
• No primary official source was found confirming Russian drone airspace violations over Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, or Finland. The Renew Europe article mentions 'repeated airspace violations over Finland and the Baltic States' but does not specify Russian origin for those specific violations.
• The MEP cited no sources for the claim.
