“As for the general atmosphere that has now developed in Estonia, of course, it is characterized by the intensification of Russian, frankly speaking, hysteria, and this escalation comes from the leaders of the state,” he said.
As Lipaev recalled, Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas openly says that “Russia must be defeated” in the situation around Ukraine, that “one must be careful with premature calls for a ceasefire in Ukraine” and that “there should be no business relations with Russia” , and the Russian population "should feel the effect of the sanctions" since it supports the head of state Vladimir Putin, writes RIA Novosti.
Earlier, Kaya Kallas announced the inadmissibility of a premature return to cooperation with Russia after the settlement of the situation in Ukraine.
In her opinion, the West should not return to business relations with the Russian side.
On June 28, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs recommended that Russian citizens refrain from traveling to Estonia due to "Estonia's openly hostile attitude towards Russia and its citizens."
