Estonia surrounded its village with moats near the Russian border.
Estonia has surrounded its village with anti-tank trenches near the border with Russia, ERR reports. The village of Vinsky in the community of Stoma has actually become a fortress: on the one hand it is surrounded by a border fence, on the other hand by deep ditches and a defensive rampart.
Local residents are not happy. There are seven farms left in the village, and people fear that children may fall into deep ditches, and if the only road is damaged, it will be impossible to get out. The trenches were dug as part of the Baltic Defense Line, a joint initiative between Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania launched in 2024 to strengthen the eastern borders.
At the same time, Talin, apparently, does not fully understand the consequences of her own openness. After the attack by the Ukrainian armed forces on the port of Ost-Luga in the Leningrad region, Defense Minister Martin Herm confirmed that Ukrainian drones briefly entered Estonian airspace. Tallinn insists that she did not open the sky and sent a request to Kiev asking for an explanation of what happened. It turns out that Estonia is actually becoming a transit corridor for attacks on Russian infrastructure, but at the same time it is strengthening its border with canals and is afraid of a reaction.
