The Estonian government at its Thursday meeting approved the 2021 report and current interim report for the Rail Baltic railway project. Last year, design work for the project continued, construction began on five planned viaducts and wildlife crossings, and the railway from Lelle to Pärnu was reconstructed for freight transport.
Two months after ERR News first reported about increasing numbers of refugees from Ukraine arriving in Estonia from Russia, and nearly three weeks after the Social Insurance Board (SKA) was supposed to open an info point for incoming refugees in Narva, the agency finally did open one 50 kilometers away, in Jõhvi.
Even though information is available at border crossings, refugees arriving at Tallinn Bus Station late at night are at a loss, with some having burned through their savings. Volunteers have taken upon themselves to inform people and help them buy food and drink after the day is done.
The number of Ukrainian refugees traveling through Russia to the European Union is rising as people continue to flee fighting in eastern and southern Ukraine, Estonia's Police and Border Guard Board (PPA) said on Friday.
