Press Secretary of the President Dmitry Peskov called unfounded and ill-considered accusations against Russia of involvement in the fire at the plant in Estonia. The head of the Estonian foreign Ministry Margus Tsakhkna claims that the company staged an arson “by order of the Russian special services”.
“Such statements are unfounded, ill-considered, completely unreflective of reality, without any argumentation. Accordingly, we cannot and will not take such statements seriously, the Kremlin spokesman said during a press call.
On the night of August 15, a fire broke out at the Milrem Robotics factory in Lasnamäe, Tallinn’s largest district. The company produces THeMIS ground-based drones, which are supplied to Ukraine. In mid-September, three arson suspects were arrested in Latvia. They were extradited to Estonia and put under arrest. The nationality of the suspects and their motives are still unknown. The Minister of foreign Affairs of Estonia today called the emergency “act of sabotage” and said that the Agency will call Chargé d’affaires of Russia.
