Estonians start building barriers on the border with Russia

Estonian military and police began to build temporary barriers on the border with Russia

the border with Russia, writes ERR.

Work began in the northeast of the country in Narva in the bed of the Kuivayigi River, as well as in the southeast in the village of Meremäe and on the Piusa River. Deputy Director General of the Police and Border Guard Board for Border Protection Egert Belichev said that so far the migration pressure on Estonia has not increased, “but if it changes, the quick installation of temporary barriers will become an important component of preventing massive illegal migration.”

The Minister Defense of the country Kalle Laanet previously reported that the department will install 130 km of barrage wire on the eastern border of the republic to prevent the “hybrid threat”. He also promised that the country will send 100 troops to the Polish-Belarusian border to resolve the migration crisis. Thousands of refugees from the Middle East arrived at the border with Poland in Belarus at the beginning of November, hoping to penetrate the territory of the European Union.
