O prime Minister of Estonia, Kristen Michal, left a guarantee to Russia this Tuesday after accusing the Russian special services of an act of sabotage, committed in August. “We will not be intimidated,” he said.
Estonia accused Russia of setting a fire at the premises of a land drone company in the capital in Talin.
In a publication on social network X, Michal stressed that the “incendiary attack against Milrem Robotics was ordered by Russian intelligence,” considering that “this attack is part of Russia’s broader campaign across Europe to intimidate and weaken support for Ukraine.”.
The Prime Minister of Estonia said that Russia’s action “will not work” and that the “response will be precisely the opposite”: “More security in our country, more support for Ukraine and more pressure on Russia.”.
“We will not be intimidated”, he stressed.
This Tuesday, Estonia’s Foreign Minister, Margus Tsahkna, stated that it was possible “to conclude with certainty that the arsonist attack on Milrem Robotics (...) was an act of sabotage commissioned by the special services of the Russian Federation”.
In response, the Kremlin spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, classified Talin’s accusations as “unfounded” and denied any responsibility for the fire.
