EU Demands Answers as Russia Provokes Estonia by Removing Border Buoys
TL;DR
The EU has demanded an explanation from Russia after Russian border guards removed over 20 buoys from the Narva River, a waterway along the Estonian-Russian border. This act is seen as part of Russia's broader pattern of provocative behavior in the Baltic region. Estonia has summoned the Russian ambassador to address the incident, which follows Russia's disagreement with the placement of approximately half of the 250 border buoys installed this year.
