EU Demands Russia Return Removed Estonian Border Buoys

Russia's removal of navigation buoys from the Narva River has escalated tensions between the two nations, drawing condemnation from the EU and NATO.

  • Russian border guards removed 24 out of 50 buoys placed by Estonia on the Narva River.
  • EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell called the action 'unacceptable' and part of a broader pattern of provocative behavior.
  • Estonia has summoned Russia's chargĂ© d'affaires to demand the immediate return of the buoys.
  • The incident follows a brief proposal by Russia to revise its maritime borders in the Baltic Sea, which was later deleted.
  • Estonia maintains a calm and clear response, engaging with allies to address the situation.
