Russian Bronze Statue in Estonia

That’s an easy one…because Russia is attacking Estonia.

The Bronze Soldier and the rioting/vandalism in Tallinn were and still are Estonia’s domestic matters. But Russia’s coordinated actions against Estonia are an EU problem. EU-Russia relations have entered a very complicated phase, while Estonia witnesses Virtual, Psychological and Real attacks.

Various LE CI reports indicate that before the riots, representatives of the Russian Embassy met with the principle ‘riot’ organizers in Tallinn and other Estonian cities. Said meetings took place “in the strangest of places such as Tallinn’s Botanical Gardens”.

It has also been established that cyber terrorist attacks took place against Estonian governmental institutional websites (to include the President’s Office). Links were discovered from IP addresses of “concrete computers and by concrete individuals from Russian government organs”.

The Russian State Duma (Senate) delegation visited Estonia through the intermediation of the EU’s Presidency this past week. Upon arrival, they demanded the resignation of the government and refused to cooperate or enter into dialogue with Estonian officials.

The Foreign Minister openly stated to the press “I affirm to you that we have sufficient material to prove our accusations. This clearly shows that the future of people of Russian-decent in Estonia is merely being used for a rhetorical pretext, and our compatriots are being used for greater political gains.”
