Arrr, those Russian scallywags be stealin' our buoys like a bunch of landlubbers! This be an act of war, says the fancy EU chief. But we'll give 'em a taste of our Estonian fury and teach 'em a lesson they won't soon forget! Aye aye, matey!
In the language of a 17th-century pirate, the European Union's foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, be shoutin' on Friday about them Russian scallywags removin' Estonian buoys on the Narva River, demandin' the return of them orange floatin' devices. Arrr, the Estonian border guards be seein' that the Russian pirates took away half of the buoys meant to keep boats from strayin' o'er the border.Borrell be callin' this act part of a broader pattern of Russian mischief and hybrid actions. Estonia be havin' a calm response, callin' it unacceptable but keepin' a clear eye on the situation. Them buoys be set up every year, but this time Russia be disagreein' with Estonia's positions. The Foreign Ministry be sayin' this fits with Russia's provocations in the region, includin' border disputes in the Baltic Sea.Russian media be sayin' that Moscow proposed updatin' coordinates for its territorial waters, but the Defense Ministry be claimin' it ain't political. Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Finland and Sweden have joined NATO, encirclin' the Baltic Sea, causin' tensions in the region.
