At the same time, “after Russia's attack on Ukraine, the east-west freight train traffic through Estonia decreased sharply and volumes are not expected to return.”

For all my criticism of @POLITICOEurope’s trashy takes, this piece is very good.

“In extreme cases, Russians appear to be clawing chips out of household appliances like fridges.”
How about Wasington machines?
But seriously, Finns report a good deal of hi-tech smuggling to Russia by… you got it… those with *Tourist Visas*

Estonia went in when France needed help and left when France decided to leave. Either you purposely lie or you can’t be bothered to check. Indeed our troops were wounded serving.

Hei, kas meil polegi mõjuagente enam? Mäletan, et oli.
RT @StratcomCentre: Russia has agents of influence - and entire parties of supporters - all across Europe. Choose your allegiance carefully. They, too, can ask Putin for help one day.

Not bad advertising.

I didn't know, but thanks Estonia for donating them to Ukraine! 🫡 😀

Utterly clueless about Germany's own post-war response to its murderous past, @DWnews asks if its right for CEE to take down soviet statues.
Meanwhile, Germany puts up its own statues to the people CEE rightfully revile.

A stunning place. A lovely couple lives here today, tending to the harbor. Along with lots of sheep.
RT @visitestonia: #Osmussaar is known as "Odensholm" in #Swedish. Legend has it Odin flew there to die.

And people whine the EU countries bordering Mordor want to end Schengen visa abuse by Russians.
RT @Jordiarrufat: Boarding an internal EU flight from the Baltic States to Barcelona with plenty of others travellers around me holding Russian passports, this while their government is bombing Ukraine and sending threats to all of us about unsafe nuclear power plants.
The new normal, I guess.

But "we shouldn't humiliate Russia or Putin"

Nor should we repeat the mistakes of the 1990s. Russia must continue to be isolated for as long as it takes to pay to rebuild what they destroyed, paid compensation to the victims and send all their war criminals to Den Haag (or better yet, Nürnberg).
No wiping the slate clean.
RT @general_ben: I think that US war-aims for this conflict should include "de-imperialization" of Russia. It seems to me that we are seeing the beginnin…

RT @dwnews: Since Russia's war in Ukraine began, Lithuania is seeing a renewed push to get rid of all remaining Soviet symbols. But is it right to erase history?

No, Lenin didn't say that.

Great thread on how Russia has been trying to annex Ukrainian land since 2003
RT @VolodyaTretyak: The first time Russia tried to annex Ukrainian territories. THREAD
In 2022, we have often heard about Snake Island. There is another island that has been occupied since 2014 and which Russia tried to occupy in 2003. Its name is Tuzla.
