Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Estonia is more on the alert than ever. This Baltic state fears that its large Russian-speaking community will be used for destabilization purposes.
In Narva, Estonia and Russia are about 150 meters apart, separated by the river of the same name and a time zone. The bridge connecting Narva and the Russian city of Ivangorod has been suspended by the Russian side, which justifies this closure by works. Since February 1, only pedestrians have been allowed to cross it.
