Estonian Defense Forces (EDF) members have started erecting temporary barbed wire barricades on Estonia's eastern border. Prime Minister Kaja Kallas (Reform) said that the border fence tells Russia that Estonia is guarding its own border and those of the European Union and NATO.
A snap military exercise called earlier in the week will include strengthening of sections of Estonia's eastern border with the Russian Federation which run along a dry-bed stretch of the Narva river, ETV news show 'Aktuaalne kaamera' (AK) reported Friday night, while Prime Minister Kaja Kallas (Reform) and Estonian Defense Forces (EDF) Lieutenant General Martin Herem were on the ground in Narva Saturday and received an overview of the situation.
