Ukraine issues apology to Finland
Mar 31, 2026
Kiev [Ukraine], March 31: Ukraine has issued an apology to Finland after several of its drones crashed in Finnish territory a day earlier, the Foreign Ministry in Kiev said.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Heorhii Tykhyi stressed that the drones had not targeted Finland deliberately.
"We can say with certainty that Ukrainian drones did not fly towards Finland under any circumstances," he told journalists in Kiev.
The most likely scenario, he said, was that the drones had been diverted from their original course by electronic jamming from Russian air defences. Several Ukrainian drones crashed to the east of the south-eastern city of Kouvola near Finland's border with Russia on Sunday. (DPA)
