What's next

"Based on the information collected by the Security Police, we can now confidently say that the arson at the Milrem Robotics defense enterprise on the night of August 14-15 was a sabotage organized by the order of the special services of the Russian Federation. Russia continues its campaign of sabotage against Europe in order to intimidate it and force it to reduce its support for Ukraine and ease the pressure on Russia itself. This, in turn, testifies to the growing despair of Moscow, because it failed to achieve the goals of its aggression against Ukraine, "said the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

"Estonia, together with its allies and partners, will continue to put pressure on Russia, tightening sanctions and restricting the entry of Russian citizens into Europe; our strong support for Ukraine will continue," the minister said. "We are also constantly increasing the level of our readiness and internal security in order to successfully counter such actions of Russia in the future."
