- BREAKING - Estonia Wants to Ban Russian Residents From Voting
Estonia's coalition government on Monday said it hoped to amend the constitution to ban Russian and Belarusian residents from voting in municipal polls next year, to prevent potential meddling by Moscow and Minsk.
More than 80,000 Russian citizens hold a residence permit in the former Soviet republic of 1.3 million people, which gained its independence in 1991 and is home to a large Russian-speaking minority.

❗️🇷🇺🇪🇪 #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
