Estonia announced that the country may be forced to close its border crossing points with Russia due to increased migration pressures, Estonian Police and Border Guard announced on Feb. 13.
"In recent weeks, Russia has deliberately directed to the Estonian border groups of foreigners lacking the legal right to enter the European Union," the statement reads. "If these activities continue, we will be forced to close border crossing points to protect national security and public order, as has already been done in Finland due to migration pressure."
The Estonian government has noted an influx of migrants and asylum seekers from Russia over recent months.
There are innocent civilians trying to flee Putin's regime. Civilians who want no part of his war. They should be allowed to seek asylum like any refugee.
Estonia is a tiny country of a little over a million people and we already took on the most Ukrainian refugees per population and we currently have issues housing them. If Russians need refuge in another country they need to look elsewhere.

Yes they are, but Russia also uses migration as a pervert way of its hybrid warfare to pressure european countries and to create confusion and disarray .
They can have no part in war by overthrowing government that not considering their peoples’ will. Can’t believe how gutless Russians when it comes to regime
are they being badly treated? forcefully enlisted? killed? their life is the same as before the full-scale invasion, their life is the same as before 2014. so why the heck do they need protection?
Anti-migrant racism is strong in these comments.
It is amazing how easily people who consider themselves left-wing turn to racism when it helps them politically.
You see it all the time in European politics. They'll call themselves leftist and scoff about how right wing American Democrats are while they support awful policies against refugees and migrants. They'll be racist against the Romani and say it's totally different from being racist.
The US may have right wing economics, but Europe has right wing immigration/refugee policies.
