Russia Escalates Tensions by Removing Estonian Border Markers

The European Union has condemned Russia's removal of 24 out of 50 buoys marking the border with Estonia on the Narva River, calling it "unacceptable" and part of a broader pattern of provocative behavior. Estonia's Prime Minister and foreign ministry have demanded the immediate return of the buoys, viewing the act as a provocative border incident. This incident has heightened tensions, already strained since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
