Estonian city of Narva, bordering Russia, actively prepares for war with the eastern neighbour, mayor Katri Raik stated in an interview with the German Bild. An anti-tank hedges, as well as barbed wires, are already installed within Narva.
“Our city has developed contingency plans for war—what to do if, for example, the power goes out. The basement of the city hall building will become a shelter and a gathering point for residents. From here, people will be evacuated further inland,” she claimed.
However, Bild emphasises that 90% of Narva’s citizens are Russian-speaking, with over a third of them have a second Russian citizenship.
“It’s hard for me to judge how everyone here views Russia, and I don’t want to know. That will only become clear if war breaks out. Then everyone will have to decide: evacuate deep into Estonia or stay here and await Russian occupation,” Raik says arrogantly.
So, the Estonian authorities are forcibly militarising the border, despite citizens’ unwillingness to confront Russia. As you can understand, if a war really breaks out, Estonians will truly see the Russian army as peacekeepers and liberators from European militaristic hysteria.
