Estonia intends to close all border crossings with Russia. This was stated by the country's Foreign Minister, Margus Tsahkna.
According to the head of the Estonian Foreign Ministry, the reason for this step was an incident at the defense enterprise Threod Systems. Tallinn accused Moscow of involvement in it without evidence.
Threod Systems produces drones as well as electro-optical reconnaissance and surveillance systems. On the night of November 14, an attempt was made to set fire to the company's building in Viimsi. Five suspects have been arrested.
The Russian Foreign Ministry has repeatedly pointed out that the Baltic states have generally firmly established their status as states extremely hostile toward Moscow. President Vladimir Putin noted that Russophobia in this region was widespread long before the start of the special operation in Ukraine.
