  1. we shouldn’t provoke Russia – why does no one try to hold a peace conference NATO-Russia and secure a safe life for us all

  2. Interesting development. Hopefully the situation stays calm and doesn’t escalate further.

  7. Brb, just adding find a new route to work’ to the list of 2023 things I didn’t expect to need. 😂 Can we get a detour sign that just says ‘avoid international incidents, turn lefty?

  9. I feel the need to apologise on my behalf to all of europe for the way the country of my motherbis behaving

  10. The existence of these roads is just an invitation for Russia to engage in grey-zone shenanigans.

    IMHO, Estonia should proactively close stretches of road like that and rebuild the missing pieces on their own territory. In this case, it would be 4-5km, meaning 5 minutes’ extra driving.

  11. Estonia says it’s not cause for immediate worry, though.

    Here is an [article straight from Estonian TV](https://news.err.ee/1609827133/estonia-s-border-guard-armed-russian-groups-seen-in-saatse-boot).

    > New update: MFA: Situation remains calm and fully under control

    The road in question: https://www.google.com/maps/@57.8963917,27.7357573,13z

    Estonia built a road around that “boot”, but people still use the direct one out of complacency.

  12. Wow !!! 10 people Unit? They must getting ready to take over Tallinn!!!
