Estonia Issues Shoot-to-Kill Warning to Deter Russian Aggression
Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna stated in an interview that any “little green men” attempting to cross the Estonian border would be met with deadly force. This follows recent border incidents involving unmarked individuals, similar to those seen during Russia’s 2014 annexation of Crimea. Tsahkna cited reports of such incidents near Narva, a border town, and emphasized that Estonia is closely monitoring the situation. Estonia’s stance comes as a response to multiple violations, including brief incursions by Russian border guards and the presence of a Wagner-affiliated vessel, particularly along the Narva River which forms the border.
