▪️In the Moscow region (!) a citizen of #Ukraine, born in 1972, was demonstratively detained, who allegedly delivered two Igla portable air defense systems from Kyiv to Russia via #Estonia.

▪️In Bryansk, the "knights of the cloak and dagger" no less epicly detained a Ukrainian born in 1967, who — an amazing coincidence! — also in transit through Estonia came to Russia, where he "seized a cache prepared by the Ukrainian special service with components of explosive devices" on camera.

P.S.
Of course, no one even doubts that operational arrests are carried out in this way, and nothing else! 😎
And also that "Ukrainian terrorists" always move around Russia in cars with Ukrainian numbers, and carry an identity cards of the SBU and MANPADS in the trunk 🤣🤣🤣

❗️🇷🇺🇪🇪 #Russia may try to seize part of eastern #Estonia and is already jamming satellite navigation and launching reconnaissance drones, — Politico

Goal — to force NATO to start a global war (or to prove to the whole world that Article 5 on NATO's collective defense doesn't work)

About a quarter of Estonia's population of 1.4 million is ethnic Russian. Kremlin is a past master of exploiting ethnic differences to claim a special role in protecting the Russian diaspora. It's done that in Georgia and Moldova and that was the pretext for invasion of #Ukraine

Putin declared that Narva is historically part of Russia
Narva is closer to St. Petersburg than it is to Tallinn. Of its roughly 56,000 inhabitants, 96% speak Russian and a third hold a Russian passport

🪖🇬🇧 Of all NATO forces, there are only 900 British soldiers at Tapa Air Base west of Tallinn. Estonia's army has 7,700 troops. In the event of war, their number could be increased to 43,000
But that's too little if Russia strikes
