TALLINN - Estonia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Thursday summoned the chargé d'affaires of the Russian Federation's embassy to protest and deliver an official note regarding the illegal crossing of the temporary control line between Estonia and Russia on December 17.
The violation occurred on the Vasknarva pier on the Narva River, where Russian border guards were on Estonian territory without permission.
"We have increased surveillance in the area and are ready to respond," said Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna, adding that the best response to Russia's testing of the borders is to support Ukraine and to exert greater political and economic pressure on Russia.
