Estonia has hit back at Russian claims that a woman blamed by Moscow for planting a car bomb that killed the daughter of a prominent supporter of President Vladimir Putin has fled to the Baltic country.
Urmas Reinsalu, Estonia’s foreign minister, speaking on television on Tuesday, said: “We regard this as one instance of provocation in a very long line of provocations by the Russian Federation, and we have nothing more to say about it at the moment.”
Russia’s FSB security services claimed that Natalya Vovk, a 43-year-old Ukrainian, was responsible for the killing of Daria Dugina, the daughter of far-right ideologue Alexander Dugin. Vovk then supposedly fled to Estonia, leading Russian nationalists to demand tough action against the Baltic country that has been one of Ukraine’s biggest supporters.
