(AP Photo\/Mindaugas Kulbis)\n<\/div><span>Expand<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n<h4>Drones across borders are heightening tensions<\/h4>\n<p>In recent months, Ukrainian drones aimed at Russia have crossed or come down in NATO territory on numerous occasions. Western officials have blamed what they say is likely Russian electronic jamming of the drones. Russia, meanwhile, has renewed threats that it would retaliate if Ukrainian drones are launched from Baltic countries or if those countries are complicit in their use against Russia.<\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<p>On Tuesday evening, Lithuanian Foreign Minister K\u0119stutis Budrys wrote on social media that \u201cRussia is deliberately redirecting Ukrainian drones into Baltic airspace while waging smear campaigns\u201d against Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. \u201cIt\u2019s a transparent act of desperation \u2014 an attempt to sow chaos and distract from a simple reality: (Ukraine) is hitting Russian military machine hard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Budrys\u2019 comment came hours after a NATO jet shot down a Ukrainian drone over southern Estonia. Ukraine apologized for that \u201cunintended incident,\u201d without specifying what had happened.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, Latvia\u2019s government collapsed following an argument over the handling of multiple incidents involving stray drones suspected to be from Ukraine. The defense minister was forced to quit after his party withdrew its support for him, and the prime minister then resigned. The governing coalition had been under strain for months over several other issues.<\/p>\n<h4>Russia and Ukraine hammer each other with drones<\/h4>\n<p>In a recent escalation of aerial attacks, Russia and Ukraine have sometimes fired hundreds of drones a day at each other.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=8141\">In Iran\u2019s capital, weapons demonstrations send a signal at home and abroad as threat of war remains<\/a><\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Ukraine\u2019s air force said Wednesday that it shot down 131 out of 154 drones that Russia launched overnight. The ones that got past air defenses killed three civilians and wounded 18 others, including two children, officials said.<\/p>\n<p>Ukraine, meanwhile, continued its aerial campaign against Russia\u2019s vital oil industry, with the General Staff reporting its drones struck a major Russian oil refinery and a pipeline pumping station overnight.<\/p>\n<p>Russian media reports also indicated that a chemical plant in the southern Stavropol region was hit and caught fire, although local officials didn\u2019t confirm any direct hit.<\/p>\n<h4>Russia gets some relief from oil sanctions<\/h4>\n<p>The U.K. government, a strong supporter of Ukraine\u2019s war effort, has loosened strict sanctions on Russian oil refined into diesel and jet fuel in third countries as prices rise due to the Iran war.<\/p>\n<p>The waiver begins Wednesday and reflects growing supply concerns over certain fuels due to the effective blockade of the key Strait of Hormuz waterway.<\/p>\n<p>That step comes two days after U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that Washington was granting a 30-day extension for countries to import Russian oil that is already in tankers at sea, a move that is meant to reduce the oil supply shortages.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement marked a continued policy reversal by the Trump administration, which had previously said the sanctions on Russian oil would resume. Originally announced in early March, the temporary waiver on the sanctions was first renewed in April.<\/p>\n<p><em>Geir Moulson in Berlin, Lorne Cook in Brussels, Hanna Arhirova in Kyiv, Ukraine and Barry Hatton in Lisbon, Portugal contributed to this report.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Follow the AP\u2019s coverage of the war in Ukraine at https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/russia-ukraine<\/em><\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=8135\">Officers who defended Capitol from rioters sue to block payouts from $1.8B \u2018anti-weaponization\u2019 fund<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lithuania&#8217;s president and prime minister have been taken to safe locations after a suspected drone was detected near the country&#8217;s border with Belarus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8144,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8150","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-world-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
