Estonia’s border city of Narva, singled out by Putin as historically Russian land, is among potential targets for destabilization.
Anticipating a Russian invasion, Estonia is rapidly rearming, even if doubling its defence budget risks making its social and economic problems worse. The Russian minority are keeping a low profile.
Russian surveillance has increased on Ukraine's border. Meanwhile a museum in Estonia hung a large poster depicting Putin as a war criminal.
On Tuesday, 9 May, a poster showing an image of Vladimir Putin with the caption that he is a war criminal was hung on the wall of a castle in the Estonian city of Narva at the border with Russia. "This is not a provocation but an installation planned by the museum and the Propastop organisation. The poster will be up for a few days. It unambiguously reminds onlookers that there is a border with Russia here in Narva.
Russian authorities requested a meeting with representatives of the Estonian police to demand that they remove a poster placed on the Narva fortress by the Estonian-Russian border calling the Russian president Vladimir Putin a war criminal, the regional newspaper Põhjarannik writes.
