Estonia to close border with Russia after Moscow-linked sabotage attempt on drone maker
The Kyiv Independent reports that Estonia plans to close all border crossings with Russia from December 1, 2026, after an attempted explosion and arson at drone maker Threod Systems near Tallinn that Estonian authorities say was ordered by Russia's GRU; eight Latvia residents were detained. Prime Minister Kristen Michal says Russia aims to frighten Estonia and weaken support for Ukraine, while Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha welcomed the closure in solidarity.
