It is obvious that the launch of these missiles would have been impossible without British specialists. We are aware of this. We know this very well, and we are, of course, taking it into account.

Estonia, which borders Russia, has called for a Europe-wide visa ban on Russian veterans of the Ukraine war, and has gained support from Baltic and Nordic countries. Its interior ministry estimates as many as 1.5 million Russians have taken part in the invasion, about half of them having served on the frontline. Estonia's interior minister, Igor Taro, said the threat posed was not theoretical, adding that the Russians had combat experience and military training, and may often have a criminal background.
