Estonia will close all border checkpoints on the border with Russia starting December 1 after receiving evidence of the involvement of the Russian military intelligence (GRU) in an attempt to sabotage an Estonian defense plant. This was announced by the Estonian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Margus Tsakana, on the X social network.
"Russia must understand that hostile actions against Estonia have consequences. Attempts to intimidate, destabilize or undermine our security will not go unanswered," wrote the head of the Estonian Foreign Ministry.
According to Tshakna, closing the border points will limit Russia's ability to conduct hostile actions in Estonia and help strengthen measures to prevent evasion of sanctions.
The minister also said that he informed his colleagues from Finland, Latvia and Lithuania about the decision.
