TL;DR

The European Union has condemned Russia's removal of 24 out of 50 buoys marking the border with Estonia on the Narva River, calling it "unacceptable" and part of a broader pattern of provocative behavior. Estonia's Prime Minister and foreign ministry have demanded the immediate return of the buoys, viewing the act as a provocative border incident. This incident has heightened tensions, already strained since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
