MOSCOW, September 29 - RIA Novosti. Insinuations against Russia in connection with the fire in the building of a defense company in Tallinn are needed to justify the growing manifestations of aggression against Moscow, the Russian Embassy told RIA Novosti.

Earlier, Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna said that the department intends to summon Russian Charge d'Affaires Kamran Abilov in connection with the arson of a defense plant in Tallinn, in which Latvians are suspected.

“Such insinuations are aimed at maintaining the illusion of Russia’s participation in “hybrid attacks” throughout Europe, the purpose of which is to justify to its own population the growing manifestations of aggression against Moscow,” the Russian Embassy said.

Earlier, the Estonian television and radio company ERR reported that on the night of August 15 in Tallinn, a building used by the defense company Milrem Robotics, which supplies THeMIS unmanned ground vehicles to Ukraine, caught fire. In mid-September, Latvia handed over three arson suspects to Estonia. With the permission of the court, three Latvian citizens were taken into custody.
