US Secretary of State Marco Rubio also gets asked about Russia’s repeated allegations against the Baltics with Moscow suggesting – despite repeated strong denials – that they are preparing to work with Ukraine to launch drone attacks against Russia.

Axar.az reports, citing The Guardian, that he said it was “concerning” as “you always worry about escalation.”

“We understand these countries feel threatened by it, obviously, for obvious reasons. So, it’s a concerning thing, because you always worry that something like that can spark into something bigger, and that’s always a possibility.”

He says the US is “watching it carefully” and “engaged” with NATO on this point.

“We’re concerned about it, because we don’t want it to lead to some broader conflict that can really lead to something far worse.”
