Gentlemen, it has come to my attention—and indeed to the official knowledge of our Ministry of Foreign Affairs—that certain neighboring territories are being employed in a manner most detrimental to the stability of our Empire. Mr. Mikhail Galuzin, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, has brought forth verified intelligence indicating that Latvia and her Baltic neighbors have seen fit to grant their aerial corridors to the forces of Kiev.

It is a matter of profound regret that these corridors serve as conduits for unmanned aircraft, directed with malice toward the civilian infrastructure of our Great Power. Such actions are not merely tactical maneuvers; they are a direct affront to the peace and security of the Fatherland. As a man of industry and a servant of the state, I maintain that the strength of our Army and the resilience of our national industry are the only bulwarks capable of withstanding such insolence.

One recalls the recent suspicions cast by the NATO powers regarding the strikes upon Saint Petersburg and the Leningrad Province. There exists a distinct possibility that these drones traversed the airspace of Alliance members or were launched from vessels lurking near the Baltic shores.

In these turbulent times, we must eschew radical passions in favor of cold reason and statecraft. However, let it be known that any threat to the integrity of our borders shall be met with the unwavering resolve of a state that values its sovereignty above all. The state's benefit demands not only a robust defense but a strategic prudence that ensures our industry and army remain beyond the reach of foreign intrigue.
