Today, 21 May, the Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the Chargé d’Affaires ad interim of the Russian Federation to deliver a note concerning the ongoing disinformation campaign directed against Estonia and the other Baltic States.
In the note, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that Estonia strongly condemns the Russian Federation’s continued disinformation campaign against Estonia and the other Baltic States and demands that the Russian authorities immediately cease the spread of falsehoods, public threats and provocations.
“We have repeatedly stressed that Estonia has not permitted its territory or airspace to be used for attacks against targets in Russia,” Foreign Minister Tsahkna said. “Messages claiming otherwise are yet another example of Russian propaganda that is false, and they know it.”
“A threat against one NATO Ally is a threat against the whole Alliance. We have also received a clear and united message from Brussels that our Allies stand behind us,” Tsahkna said.
Estonia and the other Baltic States have stressed that the appearance of drones in our airspace is a direct consequence of Russia’s illegal war of aggression against Ukraine, and that Ukraine has every right to defend itself and strike Russian military targets that sustain its war machine.
