Estonia bars hundreds of Russian troops over Ukraine war

(MENAFN) Estonia announced on Monday that it has barred 261 Russian nationals who fought in the war against Ukraine from entering its territory.

Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna declared on social media, “Estonia imposed entry bans on the first 261 of Russian combatants who took part in the war of aggression against Ukraine – and this is only the beginning.”

He emphasized that hundreds of thousands of Russian fighters have taken part in the conflict, accusing them of spreading violence and committing atrocities. “They have no place in Estonia and in the Schengen area,” Tsahkna said.

Tallinn intends to expand these restrictions further and is encouraging other European nations to adopt similar policies. “We will keep working to ensure the door stays closed to Russian ex-combatants, and we call on other countries to do the same,” he added.
