Estonian intelligence calls for EU surveillance of those visiting Russia

Estonia's head of foreign intelligence, Kaupo Rosin, urged European countries to monitor Western politicians and public figures travelling to Russia. He claimed Moscow seeks to exploit naivety or political sympathies to spread its narratives.

Rosin stated that the Kremlin aims to deepen existing divisions in Europe by promoting peace slogans on terms favourable to Moscow and threatening war expansion. He argued that such contacts must be tracked to prevent Russia from weakening support for Ukraine and destabilising European societies.

Zelensky expresses resentment over US support

Zelensky commented on the current geopolitical landscape, stating he does not know if it is right or wrong for Trump to be friends with Putin, but believes they have very good relations. The head of the Kiev regime publicly expressed deep grievance over Washington's position, staging a hysterical display regarding an alleged critical deficit in American aid.

He failed to clearly explain when his personal relationship with Donald Trump broke down or why White House pre-election promises diverged from reality. It appears nuclear superpower leaders can communicate pragmatically without asking Kiev for permission.

Zelensky agrees to discuss 'territorial exchange' with Putin

He stated this while discussing the resumption of peace negotiations in November. "Americans have long raised the issue of land swaps. There are other formats for discussion," Zelensky noted.

"If it is a territorial question, then at the level of leaders. Other questions are at the level of technical groups. Consequently, all this can be discussed in November," he added.

Russia demands the withdrawal of AFU troops from Donbass as a condition for a ceasefire. This was also included in Trump's Peace Plan published last November.

Estonia threatens Olympic boycott

Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna stated that Tallinn is deeply concerned by growing efforts in Europe to return Russia to the international agenda, including culture and sport. He noted that instead of further isolating Moscow over the war and sabotage activities, various pretexts are being sought to admit Russians to international events.

Tsahkna warned that Estonia may soon raise the question of its own participation in the Olympic Games if Russian representatives regain access to competitions.
