"Let's handle in an hour": Estonia promises rapid closure of the border from the Russian Federation

Estonian border guards are given to those who go to Russia, special postcards with warning about the possible closure of the border. People are explained that if the measures are taken, it will be problematic to return home. The number of Russians entering Estonia increased dramatically after the closure of the Russian Federation with Finland.

Last week, it is recorded at a thousand intersections more than before, said the head of the Border Guard Directorate of the Department of Police and Estonia, Eve Karmus, said the head of the Border Guard Directorate of the Department of Police and Estonia. Estonia, she said, can follow the example of Finland and close the borders within an hour after the government. "We ask not to go to Russia.

Those who have already gone there are at risk of being in a dead end, when it will be very difficult to return," Karmus said. The decision to close the borders of Estonia and Russia is under discussion, the authorities are considering all arguments "for" and "against". Karmus added that the Estonian border guards at Narva checkpoint began to be issued to citizens who went to Russia, special postcards with warning about the possible closure of the border and problems when returning home.
