Quotes

The three Baltic States – Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania – have denied airspace access to foreign dignitaries traveling to Moscow for Russia’s 9 May so-called 'Victory Day' celebrations.

Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna said on social media that letting officials use Estonian airspace for travelling to the 9 May parade is 'out of the question.'
