Karasin called the gathering of troops by Estonia to the Russian border a provocation

The First Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on International Affairs, Grigory Karasin, considered Estonia’s deployment of troops to the Russian border a provocation. The senator's detailed commentary is provided by Paragraph.

According to Karasin, such military maneuvers by the Baltic countries should not cause embarrassment to Moscow, but they must be taken into account in defense planning.

“All these maneuvers by Estonia, Lithuania and other countries should not be confusing, they should simply be taken into account. The most important thing is that the leadership of these states must understand the danger of the game they are playing for their own citizens,” the senator shared.

Karasin emphasized that any actions of neighboring countries are analyzed by relevant departments, and attempts to put pressure on Russia will remain fruitless.
