#Estonia has handed a note of protest to #Russia after three Russian #border guards crossed into Estonian territory on the #Narva river without permission. The Russian intruders stayed on Estonian territory for around 20 minutes.

Three Russian border guards briefly crossed into eastern Estonia near #Vasknarva after arriving by hovercraft on the #Narva River. Estonian officials said the reason is unclear but stressed there is no security threat.
Gut gemacht!
Liebe Dilettanten und Dilettantinnen, wir hauen am 17.12. wieder auf den Putz. Diesmal nach der Premiere der Performance "Gut gemacht!" in der Residenz in der Spinnerei in Leipzig in Sachsen. See you there, Kreisverkehr!In #Estonia, the city council of the country's second-largest city, #Tartu, has elected Tõnis Lukas of the conservative Fatherland party as its new chairman. Meanwhile, the city council in the largely Russian-speaking border city of #Narva elected pro-Russian Mihhail Stalnuhhin as its new chairman.

#russianspeakers...in the occupied #Donetsk
In the US, 1960s, some had the assumption that IF everyone had the same language, there would be less conflicts🤔
Pre Feb 2022 Estonians watched #RussianTV and crossed over to #Ivangorod #StPetersburg, which is closer to #Narva than #Tallinn, the #Estonian capital
Now the consulates in Narva and St Petersburg are closed and Estonia has banned Russian TV bc it's #Kremlin #propaganda (see same BBC url above)

RE
#trumpsdementia mind thinks of Europe as colonial client states with no agenda or power of their own
⭕And I think, he doesn't know there are THIN borders from the EU and Russia. Linguistically NO BORDER, the SAME as #EasternUkraine
An example is #Estonia and the #Baltic lake town #Narva, 97% of the 60,000 people living there talk Russian, making it one of the largest Russian speaking places in the EU
My tweets about the threat to NATO in Estonia and Latvia almost 2 years ago.
And regularly have been posting and warning about it since.

Today marks the official inauguration of Europe’s largest rare-earth magnet factory in Narva, Estonia. This EU funded factory will produce rare-earth permanent magnets to be used in key economic sectors, for example in electric vehicles, wind turbines and microelectronics. As more than 90% of magnets currently imported in the EU come from China, the new factory will greatly increase Europe’s strategic autonomy and competitiveness which are crucial for the clean and industrial transition.
The mayoral election in Narva, Estonia, is taking place amid rising geopolitical tensions with Russia, particularly after recent Russian incursions into Estonian airspace.
