Estonia Temporarily Closes Nighttime Border Crossings with Russia Amid Escalating Tensions

Estonia Temporarily Closes Border Crossings Amid Security Concerns

In a bold move to bolster security, Estonia has temporarily shut down nighttime traffic at two border crossings with its eastern neighbor. The three-month closure is set to begin on February 24.

The Estonian government's decision aims to reallocate resources and strengthen its border security measures in light of strained relations between Tallinn and Moscow. Relations have become increasingly tense in recent years, particularly over issues related to energy security and NATO's expansion into Eastern Europe.

As tensions between the two nations continue to rise, Estonia's move is seen as a proactive measure to ensure the country's national security. The temporary closure of border crossings during nighttime hours will allow for enhanced surveillance and monitoring of the borders, providing an added layer of protection against potential threats.
