Estonia announced that the country may be forced to close its border crossing points with Russia due to increased migration pressures, Estonian Police and Border Guard announced on Feb. 13.

“In recent weeks, Russia has deliberately directed to the Estonian border groups of foreigners lacking the legal right to enter the European Union,” the statement reads. “If these activities continue, we will be forced to close border crossing points to protect national security and public order, as has already been done in Finland due to migration pressure.”

The Estonian government has noted an influx of migrants and asylum seekers from Russia over recent months.

        “Close them down, nothing of value in Russia at the moment”. while talking about closing borders for Russian refugees. Hardly can be interpreted any other way then talking about human lives. But maybe you didn’t know article was about migration, but by title alone assumed it was just sanctions.

          I won’t argue with you, that’s not worth it. Russia has proven to be the bad guy and most of the russian people were fine with putin the last decades and didn’t give a fuck that their were ruled by a dictator. It’s the same as with us the germans during WW2, most of them were with Hitler and only a minority fought against him from within.

          And believe me as an ukrainian I simply do not give a fuck about russia at this very moment.

            And NATO is a good guy? They invade countries far more often, that aren’t even close to their borders. It is even more clear that it is for oil then for some national secuirty. And most people in Ukraine are fine with joining NATO. Don’t fall for NATO propaganda that Russia is bad and you need to join their even more warmongering power. The reason in the first place why Russia is invading is because NATO is getting closer, which is exactly against all international deals made after the fall of the Berlin war. NATO should have been dispanded when Warsaw pact disbanded. But the hunger for power got them so close to a nuclear power, that it provoked them in a clearly unprofitable war for them. Geopolitics isn’t that simple that there are good and bad guys. They are all bad, some are just more powerful and can get away with more.

            And people are never to blame and there is no reason to close borders for civilians. We can’t afford to not give a fuck about any civilans right now, because they are our only allies. The ruling class of Russia and NATO is what got us into this war and the people of both sides are against it. If we let this politics play out, there will be wars forever. We need to stick togheter and get rid of both Putin and NATO. Without that, we will just be in more war. Even if this war ends, Ukraine will have to join another NATO war in middle east. It will never be over.

                And what is your oppinin why they invaded Ukraine? Because they are naturally evil? Because they are stupid and thought they could just take it over without NATO helping them? I have no access to Russian media, it is not propaganda. It is common sense. There is absoultely no argument against it.

                We need to stick togheter and get rid of both Putin and NATO

                in the same post I critize Putin as a well and it is clear that it is not Russian propaganda. But it is classic of NATO propagada to claim that if you cirituqe their wars in middle east, you are a russian propagandist, even if you critique Russia as well. They of course do same thing in Russia, where they say anyone who critiques their government is CIA spy.

                Being NATO warmongering propagandist and calling for more russians to be deinied assylum so that they have to fight in a war so you can kill them in the battlefielled and get another country into NATO is far more dangerous. It is clear, for anyone following wars around the World, that NATO is the most warmongering power that has control over the majarotiy of the World. And if Russian government didn’t own nukes, thay would be inavded by now as well and there would only be one central goverment for the entire World, run by US.

                Again Russian goverment is just as bad in intentions, but their power is far less threatning that what NATO is doing. I fear that even if this war in Ukraine stops, even more wars get started by NATO around the World and this planet is forever trapped in a constant state of warfare.

          Read the article, it’s not about Russian refugees but “imported” refugees from other countries. Maybe refugees expelled from Turkey as I can’t see how African refugees can arrive in Russia without an airplane

      They didn’t say anything they wrote, “why considering? Close them down, nothing of value in Russia at the moment.”

        ‘nothing of value’ - I think purplepuppy was suggesting that people/migrants/human lives have value
