Estonia called attempts by Russia to blame a Ukrainian woman who then fled to the Baltic country for planting a bomb that killed the daughter of a prominent supporter of president Vladimir Putin’s “a provocation”.
Russia’s FSB security services claimed that 43-year-old Natalya Vovk was responsible for the killing of Daria Dugina, 29, daughter of far-right ideologue Alexander Dugin. Vovk then supposedly fled to Estonia, leading Russian nationalists to demand tough action against the Baltic country that has been one of Ukraine’s biggest supporters.
Urmas Reinsalu, Estonia’s foreign minister, told local TV: “We regard this as one instance of provocation in a very long line of provocations by the Russian Federation, and we have nothing more to say about it at the moment.”
Estonia suffered its biggest cyber attack in 15 years after it last week moved a Soviet-era tank memorial from close to its border with Russia.
Reinsalu said it was part of a pattern of Moscow pressuring Tallinn over its support to Ukraine, as Estonia has given more aid per capita to Kyiv than any other country.
“Why did Estonia experience the biggest cyber attacks since the Bronze Soldier night? Why did the former president of Russia say two weeks ago that it was their failure that Estonia is still a free country?” he asked on ETV.
Indrek Kannik, head of the state-backed think-tank the International Centre for Defence and Security, also told Estonian TV: “It is possible that this was the FSB’s own operation, since these people had become a threat. At the same time, it is convenient to blame it on the Ukrainians. Now we are seeing that Estonia can also be dragged in to this.”
