Estonia begins trenching its border with Russia

Earlier this week Estonia has begun trenching its border with Russia in its ongoing plan to  seal off and reinforce Estonia’s 294KM-border with Russia.

Estonia has also applied to join the EU ReArm Europe programme. Around 1500 NATO troops including up to 600 US troops are also stationed in Estonia.

Highlighting the importance of Estonia’s border, the Estonian President Alar Karis recently stated that its border is also the border of the EU with Russia. Russia has also been trying to unilaterally demarcate and change Estonia’s borders among other provocations against its much smaller Baltic neighbour.
