Quotes

Estonia is proactively establishing a 1,000-member reserve unit to defend its eastern border.

The Ministry of the Interior has proposed creating a unit of up to 1,000 people, which would be mobilized in the event of a migration attack.

"These threats have not disappeared. On the contrary, they are expected to intensify," said Minister of the Interior Lauri Läänemets.

"The experience of other European Union countries shows that attacks on the state border may take place over a period of several months or even longer."
