From December 1st, Estonia will close the border crossings on the border with Russia, Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsakana said.
"Due to the emergence of clear evidence that the Russian military intelligence (GRU) ordered a sabotage attack against an Estonian defense company, Estonia will close all Estonian-Russian border checkpoints from December 1st.
Russia must understand that hostile actions against Estonia have consequences. Attempts to intimidate, destabilize or undermine our security will not go unanswered.
Closing the border crossings will limit Russia's ability to conduct hostile activity in Estonia and strengthen our measures to prevent sanctions evasion.
I have informed my colleagues from Finland, Latvia and Lithuania about this decision," Tskhena wrote in H.
