Summary

Headline: Estonia: Russia used nationals abroad to sow discontent over Finland's border closures

Short Summary: Estonia reports Russia used nationals abroad for sowing discontent over Finland's border closures, with openly orchestrated migrant flows and influence efforts.

Description

According to Estonia's Internal Security Service, Russia openly used nationals abroad to sow discontent in reaction to Finland's border closures, targeting both Estonian and Finnish authorities without concealing its involvement.

Evidence

Quotes

"Without concealing its involvement or fearing reputational damage, Russia openly sent migrants to the Estonian and Finnish borders," the Estonian Internal Security Service said.

The agency's annual published risk review noted that Russia was 'resolutely using countries, according to an annual report by Estonia's Internal Security Service (ISS)'.

Russia will likely continue its efforts to incite societal tensions in neighbouring countries at the incoming names and as evidenced by the use any measures that help divert the impact on Russia of its failed 'defence clauses'.
