An arson attack on a Ukrainian restaurant in Estonia’s capital, Tallinn, was an influence operation ordered by Russian intelligence and carried out by two Moldovan citizens, a court heard on Wednesday.

The incident occurred at the Slava Ukraina restaurant in Tallinn’s Telliskivi district on January 31 … camera footage clearly showed it was a deliberate act. The restaurant owner said:]: “It was arson, they smashed the windows.”

The defendants … were caught by law enforcement agencies in Italy on February 11, [One of the defendants admitted to participating in and supporting intelligence activities directed against Estonia by carrying out two counts of arson.

Under a plea agreement, he told the Prosecutor’s Office that he established ties with individuals connected to the GRU – the foreign military intelligence agency of the Russian Armed Forces – in summer 2024 and was tasked with setting fire to a supermarket in Osula village, Võru County.

    5 days ago someone posted link to an article by united24media titled Russian Saboteurs Reportedly Torch German Military Trucks in Erfurt in Brazen Attack on NATO Soil. I thought it’d be nice to copy my comment on that post.

    Yesterday someone posted a link to an article in The Sun, it’s headline was Britain’s migrant crisis being fuelled by Putin’s Russia and other hostile states in secret plot to destabilise UK; I feel I might just as well copy and paste my comment to that post:

    The amount of shit Russia pulls without getting any kind repercussion truly astonishes me.

      Haha, again you post your glorious comment history?

      No more room for original thought?

      How about next time you show me how Putin fuels Britain’s migrant crisis.

      And: maybe explain what the migrant crisis is as well.

          Ah, didn’t you say you didn’t like The Sun?

          Guess what, I don’t, too. So maybe you can put some effort in what you want to express and say it in your own words. You seem to have some time.
