Jaanus Karilaid: Kremlin mouthpieces must be kept away from Estonia

Russia's aggression in Ukraine, which began in February 2022, calls into question any right to grant Russian citizens the right to vote in Estonia. A Russian citizen, who feels more like a patriot of Estonia than of Russia, understands this political choice and patiently awaits the moment when he can take Estonian citizenship, writes Jaanus Karilaid.

At the 58th session of the UN Human Rights Council, taking place in Geneva, Bishop Daniel of the Estonian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate (EOC) presented his address accusing Estonia of violating international law. Daniel was supported by several international organizations affiliated with Russia.
