Resumen detallado

MOSCOW, November 15. /TASS/. Russia will check reports about Estonia’s plans to close all the checkpoints on the border between the two countries, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told TASS.

"We will verify all this to see if it’s true," she said. "‘But if these are their real plans, then it will be seen as yet another bout of aggressive and unbridled Russophobia."

Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna said earlier that Tallinn will close all border crossings on the Russian-Estonian border from December 1.

Currently, three border crossings operate on the border between Russia and Estonia. One of them, Narva-Ivangorod, is open only for pedestrians after it was closed for transport in 2024. The other two, Koidula-Kunichina Gora and Luhamaa-Shumilkino, are open for both pedestrians and motor vehicles.
