We've been here before, the more scared of something Russia is, the more they shout, but they never bite. See also the F-16 being supplied, that also had them shouting. It's the same pattern, they see something they don't like, they threaten escalation, it means you should keep going since it's working.

They do it because it works. It sows FUD about providing aid to Ukraine. I remember going to a Roger Waters concert and dude had a bit about the US poking the Russian bear. Because some people hate the US so much they'll latch onto just about anything to criticize them. The anti-war crowd has something to point at too. It also plays well domestically.

It is working less and less. Every time he makes these threats without following up makes them less believable. It is not just the F16: - 2022: no more western arms to Ukraine - 2022: no MiG fighter jets to Ukraine - 2022: no long range missiles - 2022: no German supply of weapons - 2022: no threat to Russian territory - 2023: no supply of Patriots - 2023: no modern western tanks - 2023: no Storm Shadow strikes in Russia - 2023: no atacms on Russian troops - 2024: no long range strikes in Russia or else Nuclear war All these lines have been crossed without the promised consequences.

And yet, thanks to these threats they've managed to scare Biden admin into restricting a lot of things for Ukraine long enough for Trump to come back and straight up gut US aid to Ukraine.

Yeah see this time and time again, I'm a long time member of the "anti-war" crowd, I've always been and still am a harsh critic of NATO, it's behaviour has been appalling at times but I don't understand how for some people that manages to change the fact Russia's behaviour is absolutely f****** atrocious.

I'm not the person you asked but as I see it, to truly be anti-war by definition requires one to be first and foremost anti-Russia. And that's what NATO is. That's not what people usually mean when they say they're anti-war, which is both disappointing and baffling.

Why would we have loudly informed everyone that the drones that were supposedly sent from Finland (like Shoigu here seems to claim) have crashed here and there in Finland and not just stayed quiet if it was some top secret operation? Why wouldn´t we have at least lied that they´re Russian drones and not Ukrainian? Why would our hornets have flown after them like lunatics? Why there´s a discussion that our defence against drones needs to be a lot better? Why the hell would we be the most honest attackers there´s ever been?

So? I'm not even talking about that. I'm just pointing out that there's nothing fake in the Russian statements, people just like to misinterpret it.

"Shoigu alleged, without providing evidence, that Ukrainian drone attacks on Russia had increasingly been launched through Baltic states via Finland." Shoigu is claiming that those attacks are already being conducted through these countries if you open the article.

anders_hansson 1 day ago -2
Can you point to a quote where he says that Ukraine is launching drones **from** Finland and the Baltic states? Your reference is an interpretation. The quoted statement was: >"This could occur in two scenarios: either Western air defense systems are extremely ineffective… or the states in question are deliberately allowing their airspace to be used, meaning they are actively complicit in the aggression against Russia," he said. ...which is not the same thing. He's clearly referring to the incidents when Uirainian drones ended up in Finland and the Baltic states (which nobody denies).

Weather intentional or not, shoigu is claiming these drones are coming through these airspaces, which we say is not true.

Title: "Russia threatens action against Finland, Baltics **if** Ukrainian drones strike via their airspace". Commenter: "Fake". What's fake? It's a warning. I suspect that many people missed the "if" and made their own assumptions. Regarding what Sergei Shoigu actually said, it was (from TASS, which I'm not going to link here as it's often blocked in listnook subs): >"В последнее время участились случаи, когда через Финляндию и страны Прибалтики осуществляются удары украинских беспилотников по России" Which translates to: >"Recently, there have been more frequent cases of Ukrainian drone strikes against Russia **via** Finland and the Baltic states." I agree with the original commenter that Ukraine most likely did not intend for the drones to take those routes, but nevertheless, they did. This is documented and reported in several western articles (e.g. [Reuters - Finland reports territorial violation by drones, at least one from Ukraine](https://www.reuters.com/world/finland-reports-suspected-territorial-violation-by-drones-2026-03-29/)). I.e. it's not fake. So, what is fake? What the original commenter **seems** to imply is that Shoigu claims that Ukraine is intentionally using the airspace of Finland and the Baltic states to strike Russia. He is not. If he did, he would not leave the question open to wether it's due to incompetence or "these states knowingly provide their airspace". Again, it's a **warning** that **if** neighbouring countries allow Ukraine to use their airspace to strike Russia, Russia reserves the right to take action in accordaince to Article 51 of the UN Charter.

UpstairsRain6022 1 day ago +1
Alright, since youre adamant about it that shoigu is correct, show me the article that shows Ukrainian drones that landed/flew to russia via Finland and baltic states increasingly. The article you linked makes a claim that the russian EW caused these drones to drift off course, as the original commenter stated as well Also, the commenter didnt say "fake". You cant just delete the rest of the quote. Or i mean you can of course but it eats your credibility by quite alot

We're talking about different things. I commented against the notion that the Russian statement was fake. The warning isn't fake, right? The article mentions a comment that can be interpreted in many ways: >either Western air defense systems are extremely ineffective… or the states in question are deliberately allowing their airspace to be used The whole point in war rhetoric is to be vague and leave things open to interpretation. In this case it's not fake, but it is part of a warning message. Otherwise, what is fake?

kahaveli 2 days ago +7
Yes, it's of course clear that Finland doesn't allow it's airspace to be used for attacking Russia, even though Finland of course supports Ukraine in multitude of ways. Because Russia would of course see that as an escalation. But there's no escalation between Finland and Russia, and that's the way Finland (and hopefully Russia too) wants to keep it. But there has been comments where Russian politicians have implied that they have doubts that Finland's airspace is used to send the drones, like Shoigu in this article: "This could occur in two scenarios: either Western air defense systems are extremely ineffective… or the states in question are deliberately allowing their airspace to be used, meaning they are actively complicit in the aggression against Russia" - it's of course completely false that they would have come from Finland. And from Russian newspapers there has been somewhat widespread speculation about it. The goal of it is probably to slightly stir the pot and change the narrative to that direction where Finland would be hostile against Russia, even when that is not the case.

Agree. Especially *"But there's no escalation between Finland and Russia, and that's the way Finland (and hopefully Russia too) wants to keep it."* (I would even say "probably" rather than "hopefully").

Ukraine attacked the oil depots/harbours at Ust-Luga (close to Estonia) and Primorsk/Koivisto (50km away from Finnish border) two weeks ago with hundreds of long-range drones sent from Ukraine or maybe even saboteurs inside Russia. Only small part of them found their way into their goals - like over 90% were shot down, which is typical. And Russia actually reports how much they claim to have shot down every day. And 4 drones of these couple hundreds missed their targets and wandered to Finland and crashed here. There can be multiple reasons for this, like guidance system malfunction, and Russia of course tries to electronically interfere with the drones as much as they can (like jamming the GPS) which can also increase the likelihood. So the drones were not send from Finland. I'm from Finland, and it's of course completely clear that Finland wouldn't allow the usage of air space for that. Russia knows this, but of course they are now implying and suspecting that, because it is in Russia's interest to make uncertainty about it even when they know that it is not true.

Armed Ukranian drones breaching Finnish airspace is what happened. I don’t care what the reasons are, I just want Ukraine to stop playing games and putting Finnish people and society in danger. I do not want to end up in a war with Russia because Ukranians feel loke flying drones through Finland to hit Russian tagets.

kahaveli 2 days ago +15
Ukraine is not "flying drones through Finland to hit Russia". Don't try to twist the situation. Ukraine is flying drones through Russia to hit Russia. And 4 of those drones (out of hundreds) got lost and crashed in Finnish forests. That is itself of course unfortunate and should of course be avoided, but this incident that happened because of accident and caused no damage is not that big deal. Ukraine has the right to self-defence and they have the right to hit Russian oil infrastructure. If that hurts income of Russian state, that is good. I'm from Finland, and there has not really been any demands for Ukraine either from general population or state leadership. Support for Ukraine continues, this doesn't change it.

L444ki 2 days ago -25
Wait you have the flight data for these drones or you just pulling this info out of thin air? In the case you described Ukraine missed their target by 100km and accidentally flew into the wrong country. That is extremely reckless and highly unprofessional. This time it did not, what if next time the drones hit Finnish civilians or infrastructure? It feels very uncomfortable that a country we are supporting in their defensive war is “loosing” armed drones in ours. If they can miss by 100km what exactly makes you so certain they cannot miss by as much and either enter Russian airspace from Finnish airspace or accidentally target Finland instead Russia? Nobody is saying Ukraine does not have a right to defend itself, but why is me wanting to defend Finland from rogue armed drones somehow different? I don’t want Ukranians, Russians or anyone else flying armed drones in Finnish airspace without authorization, this should not be a hard thing to understand. I support Ukraine, but I do not want them striking Finland or through Finland even if it is by accident. The one thing these rogue drones have done is erode my trust in Ukraine ability to conduct this war. Going 100km off target into an other country does not look good for them. There is already enough tension in here in scandinavia, the last thing we need is Ukraine loosing control of a drone aroujd our borders.
-25
kahaveli 2 days ago +13
"Wait you have the flight data for these drones or you just pulling this info out of thin air?" Very simple logical thinking. You seem to continuously respond every comment with some slightly simpleminded questions. The target was in Primorsk. Ukraine bombed it with hundreds of drones. Russian anti-air forces were very active between Ukrainian border and Primorsk during that, according to Russian reports. Distance is long - around 1000km at least. It's really not that complicated. I, like other people as well, think that 4 drones got lost was of course unfortunate. But you seem to honestly overreact a lot. I would recommend you to cool down a bit.  For me, Ukraine striking oil depots even near Finland is justified. It will hurt Russia's oil income. Of course, drones should be under control - but I also don't care that much if one of them comes and crash in a forest in Finland, even though it should be avoiden as much as possible.

L444ki 2 days ago -1
You seem to be making a case that “loosing” drones is no big deal and we should just not care. Can’t wait for you to defend Russia when they start “loosing” drones in th region amd how unfortunate that would be. An other country flying armed drones is something we need to take seriously or we will end on a slippery slope. No one is saying the strikes against Russia were not justified. That is not what we are talking about here. The question is how can we stop Ukrane from flying their armed drones into or through Finland. You don’t seem to care why flies what in here, and you are free to feel that way, but I do not want any unauthorized drones in Finnish airspace, especially ones that are meant for attacking the nuclear armed Russia on our border. Risking a conflict between Russia and Finland is not worth letting these thigs slip.

"...or through Finland" You continously imply that Ukraine would be using Finnish airspace for going through, even when there is no signs of that. I just think that in the current situation, the current line of diplomacy has been the best option. So discussing directly with Ukraine, privately. Making some sort of public international scandal by escalating the situation (like you seem to write), is not in Finland's (or Ukraine's either) interest. Of course such incidents are unfortunate and should be avoided. That what I have been commenting too, so we agree on it. But it can be discussed directly with Ukraine. Finland and Ukraine have good bilateral relations and leaders talk frequently. So I am really happy that there are no politicians or people that would unnecessarily make public escalatory comments about it.

L444ki 2 days ago
The sign is the four drones that were found in Finland. You keep telling me that Ukraine had no control over them so what makes you so certain the mext batch could not have ended up back in Russia after crossing into Finland. Rogue drones are the issue here. You may think that allowing armed drones with no one controlling them buzzing around is not worth telling Ukraine to stop sending them, but I do not agree with that. I wish my government would take this seriously and make sure it does not happen again ratger than gaslighting the population and disregarding the threat posed them. An other country flying armed drones into my country is a scandal and it needs to stop. Ukraine sending armed drones into Finland is the worst thing they could do if they want to stay on good bilateral relations. Kinda sounds like you would bw willing to see civilian casualties in Finland as long as Ukraine is hitting Russian targets. Something we don’t agree on.

Don't need the flight data, because the Police in Finland have figured out and reported where the drones came to Finnish airspace, which is Russia. This is public knowledge at this point. So Russia should be better at anti-air and shouldn't let drones enter to Finnish airspace. As usual the Ryssänkengännuolija is an idiot.

So an accidental attack on Finnish soil by the Ukranians? Maybe not rocket science, but please don’t fly your armed drones around the baltics if don’t have the ability to control them. Going 100km into the wrong country is not something that should be acceptable and acting like this is normal and ok, just sets a dangerous example for anyone. Can’t wait for Russia to claim their drones in Finnish or Baltic airspace were headed into Ukraine amd just lost communication and people like yourself will come out of the woodwork defending them.

As a Finn I do care that there are unauthorized armed drones flying in our airspace. What do you mean by c****? These drones have 100km+ range and are carrying warheads. These are not some off the shelf DJI fpvs. An attack coming from Finnish airspace into Russia would be a pretty huge thing. Maybe you don’t care if Russia attacks from Belarus, but I do care that Ukraine does not attack from Finland.

Instead of hiding and pretending that a European country not all that far from you is not being eaten alive while it's neighbors watch and appear to be A-OK mostly ignoring it and letting it happen, maybe see it from a bigger picture perspective. You have no idea how the drones got there, like me, so instead of jumping to "the sky is falling when I'm trying to hide" mode, why not wait to find more information out first before freaking the f*** out.

How is me not wanting unauthorized armed drones flying and landing in my country making me be “a-ok” with Russian aggression? The only way to get a drone 100km into Finland is to fly it there. You want Ukraine flying drone through your airspace that is fine by me, but don’t come here trying to gaslight me with “we have no idea how a drone got 100km into your contry” bs.

While the Finns put up an amazing fight in the Winter War, you realise that in less than half a year they eventually lost? The Russians were eventually able to refine their tactics, and use their numerical advantage, similar to how almost all wars with Russia end up. Finland lost to Russia for a second time in the Continuation War. Finland lost a huge amount of territory, including al of its Arctic access and their only northern port in Petsamo, a huge chunk of the North Eastern Salla municipalities, along with the whole of the eastern half of Finnish Karelia.

The winter war ended with an agreement that was far-fetched from the initial URSS claims to occupy Helsinki (URSS ended up winning but with unbearable/humiliating losses) This was one of the reasons that conviced Hitler to attack the URSS later. He couldn't believe how the URSS, an enormous country, with almost 200 million people, couldn't defeat Finland with 4 million and thought the URSS army was completely incompetent.

I don't think that what I've written from the Kremlin's manual can affect the price of gas in Europe, the closure of European car factories, or major industrial enterprises in Europe. So, why don't you ask your government about Putin's involvement?

Wait, something doesn't add up. A poor Russia, with 300 billion dollars frozen, is spending more on Ukraine than the entire Europe and the United States combined? You predicted that Russia's economy would collapse due to sanctions in 2022. I don't understand why Russia is still standing. It's incredible.

Pressure is building. The loss of puppet state Hungary will force a reaction. Will Orban contest the will of his people and attempt to overthrow the government? The American experiment of governance has an important holiday 79 days away. A False flag on that date would have additional impact on gathered families, create another mass shared traumatic experience to manipulate emotions. We had all ridden on the same passenger planes used on those iconic towers, it was easy to imagine yourself experiencing the terror of passengers. The economic engine is sputtering from tariffs and trade wars and is slowly coasting to a stop. Oil restrictions will have driven up food prices and the fall of OTR transportation, supply chains and manufacturing industries will cause mass layoffs.

The art of war - when you are strong, act weak. And when you are weak, act strong. The Russians have been playing the worlds most high stakes p**** game, calling the bluff of the peaceful and prosperous West that we won’t risk our economy. But guess what, everything’s at risk now anyway. Best time to dig your heels in and prepare for hard days.

My money is on Finland if Putin were foolish enough to try anything. Those 1980s cold war vintage weapons and starving gaggles of untrained conscripts are more of a danger and financial drain to Putin than Finland. Russia will lose Crimea soon and Putin will be fighting to stay away from open windows.

Lets see You want your ports open. Attacking A Nato and EU country would lead to Finish and Estonian Costal artillery having target practice on the ships going to those ports. Swedish and German subs would pick of the rest If they miss, there are a couple of hundreds of Nato strike fighters in the air and to round it off - each and every of those ships has to pass Öresund area. Just a few mines and that's not gonna happened As a bonus, the entrance to the black Sea will be closed to Game Over Russia

I work in a department full of whiney assholes. Management position opened up last year. Nobody wanted to even apply for it. We all knew what would happen to the poor f***** that got it. The new manager had an awesome attitude when he started. He's done the quickest slide into having no give a shit left I have ever seen in my life. I can only assume that governing millions of Russians would look something like that. Just absolutely suck the joy out of day to day existence.

Kindly f*** off with that shit dude. No one here in Finland wants a war of any kind. Recent events have shown that we don’t even have the means to deal with just two or three drones entering our airspace, I don’t even want to think what would happen if russia decided to send hundreds our way.

Fair enough. Deleted my original post. I wish nothing but success and happiness on Finland. Though I will maintain that were Russia to attack any NATO country, Europe would thoroughly beat the shit out of whatever Russia has left.

At this stage In pretty sure that a coordinated land attack from the Baltics Finland and Ukraine could have many chances to reach Moscow. You just have to look to that rogue general that aborted his attack close to Moscow
