Leaders around the Baltic Sea reacted warily on Wednesday to reports that Russia could revise the borders of its territorial waters in the region, with Lithuania's foreign minister calling it an "obvious escalation” that must be met with an "appropriately firm response.” In a draft proposal reported by some Russian media, Russia's Defence Ministry suggests updating the coordinates used to measure the strip of territorial waters off its mainland coast and that of its islands in the Baltic Sea. The existing coordinates were approved in 1985, the ministry says; adding they were “based on small-sc...

Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas has left the annual Spring Storm military exercises showcasing NATO cooperation. Yet, other types of warfare were on her mind. Estonia, which borders Russia, has seen a rise in sabotage, electronic warfare and spying — all allegedly provoked by Moscow. As the war in Ukraine looks like it is turning in Russia’s favour, defences are being bolstered in the front-line nations of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, as well as in Finland and Poland. Flying away from the exercise on 16 May, Kallas said Russia is carrying out a “shadow war” against the West. Lithuanian P...

Estonia is home to nearly 300,000 Russians, actively participating in elections, including the upcoming European Parliament elections. Generally, they tend to vote for Russian-speaking candidates. Jana Toom is one of the most popular among candidates. Her supporters are rather pro-European and distance themselves from Kremlin's actions and aims. "First thing we need is so-called political nations. We don't have it in Estonia. In Estonia, we measure it by DNA so to say. I absolutely refuse to make Russian-speaking children in Estonia responsible for what Putin is doing," she told Euronews. 'I w...

In the nearby forest, Baltic volunteers are gathering. They are armed civilians with profess...

Authorities in an Estonian border city have put up a large placard with the image of Russian President Vladimir Putin captioned "war criminal," in dimensions big enough so it can be seen from neighbouring Russia, according to local media. The placard was put up on the exterior walls of the medieval Hermann Castle in Narva, Estonia's third-largest city in the north-east of the country that sits on the border to Russia. The poster shows a bloodstained portrait of Putin and is captioned "Putin - War Criminal." The poster, which is several metres long, is visible from the nearby Russian city of Iv...
