“In fact, what Russia claims did not happen,” Callas said, noting that it was about staging and provocation.

According to the prime minister, in this way Moscow allegedly wanted to show that it does not see good-neighborly relations between the countries.

Earlier, the Russian FSB distributed a video of the detention of the Estonian consul Mart Lyatte.

The operation took place in St. Petersburg on July 6.

Lyatte tried to obtain classified information about Russia's plans in the Arctic.

After the incident, the consul was declared persona non grata, and he left Russia.
