Evidence

Quotes

Russia summoned on Wednesday Estonia’s Charge d’Affaires Juri Vanaemelier over vandalism at the Tallinn Military Cemetery.

The Foreign Ministry said in a statement that a strong protest was lodged over desecration of Soviet war memorials.

The ministry condemned the acts as a 'deliberate insult to the memory of Red Army soldiers' who fought Nazi forces, calling the actions especially egregious in the year marking the 80th anniversary of victory in World War II.

Moscow rejected what it described as 'hypocritical explanations' from Tallinn, criticizing the use of heavy machinery to dismantle memorial slabs under the pretext that no remains were buried beneath them.
