Associated PressFILE - Men fish near the fortresses of Narva, left, in Estonia, and Ivangorod, right, in Russia, on Wednesday, May 24, 2023. The EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell says the removal of 25 Estonian buoys by Russian border guards on a river separating the Baltic country from Russia was unacceptable.
Every year, the marking of the shipping routes was rechecked because “the riverbed changes over time,” said Eerik Purgel, the local Estonian Border Guard head. On May 13, the first 50 buoys were installed. However 25 of them were removed by their Russian counterparts early in the morning 10 days later, he added.
Estonia's Foreign Ministry said the action"fits well within the broader pattern of Russia’s provocative behavior,” and drew parallels to the border mapping incidents in the Baltic Sea earlier this week. According to media reports, Moscow could revise the borders of its territorial waters in the region.
