According to the Estonian president, negotiations with the Russian side are possible, despite the difficult relationship between the West and Moscow. He noted that international communication can go beyond political topics, and suggested “diversifying the approach to communication with Russia.”

At the same time, Karis expressed uncertainty about the possibility of a productive dialogue with Moscow in the near future. “It's hard to guess. The entire EU froze relations with Russia, and Estonia is part of the EU. Nothing really happens. It is difficult to predict the future, but we must keep our ears and eyes open, and when a window of opportunity appears, we will be able to continue relations and cooperation, “the head of state believes.

In addition, the Estonian leader added that Tallinn will support Warsaw and Vilnius if they ask NATO for help in resolving the migration crisis.

Earlier, the acting German Chancellor Angela Merkel asked Vladimir Putin to influence Minsk in connection with the current situation with migrants on the Belarusian-Polish border during a telephone conversation. It is noted that the Russian president made a proposal to establish a discussion of this problem between representatives of the EU member states and Belarus.
