Estonia's charge d'affaires was summoned to the Russian Foreign Ministry. Jana Vanamölder expressed a strong protest in connection with the plans of the Estonian authorities to “rebury” the remains of Red Army soldiers at the Tallinn military cemetery.

Russia will not leave such actions of Estonia unanswered, the Foreign Ministry said. Earlier, the Chairman of the Investigative Committee of Russia, Alexander Bastrykin, ordered an investigation into information about the desecration of the graves in Tallinn.
