Estonia announced that the country may be forced to close its border crossing points with Russia due to increased migration pressures, Estonian Police and Border Guard announced on Feb. 13.

“In recent weeks, Russia has deliberately directed to the Estonian border groups of foreigners lacking the legal right to enter the European Union,” the statement reads. “If these activities continue, we will be forced to close border crossing points to protect national security and public order, as has already been done in Finland due to migration pressure.”

The Estonian government has noted an influx of migrants and asylum seekers from Russia over recent months.

      Oh look, another liberal racist. Of course if ukrainins can be regugees doesnt mean russians arent. We are talking about civilan lives here, just because they are from Russia, doesn’t mean they are not “real refugees” from war. Also combining word of nationality (russian) and ideology (nazzi) like that is clearly racist and you must admit is far-right view. Which is ironic that far-right opinions are so often disguessed as fight against nazzism. Even more ironic that Russian government used this same excuse for a war.
