Estonia delivers diplomatic note to Russian embassy over airspace disinformation campaign

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated in the note that Estonia strongly condemns the Russian Federation’s ongoing disinformation campaign directed against Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, and demanded that the Russian authorities immediately cease spreading falsehoods, making public threats, and engaging in provocations.

“We have repeatedly stressed that Estonia has not allowed its territory or airspace to be used for attacks against targets in Russia. Claims to the contrary are yet another piece of Russian propaganda which is untrue, and they know it,” Foreign Minister Tsahkna said.

“A threat against one NATO country is a threat against all of NATO. We have also received a clear and united message from Brussels that our allies stand behind us,” Tsahkna went on.
