Russia will check information about Estonia’s intention to close all border crossings. If it turns out to be true, this is another bout of rampant Russophobia. This was stated by the official representative of the Russian foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova, writes sb.by.

According to TASS, Maria Zakharova said: “Let’s check all this for reliability.” But if these are their real plans, they fit into another bout of aggressive and rampant Russophobia.”.

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