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 chargé 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.
