Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andrey Sibiga regarding the sabotage organized by the Russian military intelligence: "Ukraine expresses full solidarity with Estonia after the attempted arson of the Estonian defense company Threod Systems.
"By targeting a European defense company, Russia is demonstrating how far it is willing to go to undermine Europe's security and prevent military support for Ukraine. Moscow is increasingly resorting to sabotage and intimidation against European countries, and such actions cannot go unanswered.
I greatly appreciate the quick and efficient response of Estonia's special services. We need stronger, coordinated action to counter Russian sabotage, increase pressure on Moscow, and ensure accountability for such actions. Any such attack must have a real price for the aggressor," said Andrey Sibiga.
Estonia's decision to close all border crossings with Russia from December 1 sends a clear signal that hostile actions have concrete consequences. We welcome this decisive step to strengthen Estonia's security.
Estonia showed that Russian sabotage can and should have consequences that go beyond diplomatic condemnation. This approach deserves wider support across Europe.
