The Foreign Ministry of the Russian Federation expressed a demarche as a temporary attorney in Estonia in Moscow by Yana Vanamelder in connection with the next act of vandalism in the Tallinn Military Cemetery. ” This is stated in the message on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation
“Due to the next act of vandalism at the Tallinn Military Cemetery on April 7, a demarche was held by a temporary attorney in Estonia in Russia, Yana Vanamelder, who states that after a meeting in the Russian Foreign Ministry in March S.G., on the issue of the tombstones of the Soviet troops, Tallinn not only did not make the necessary conclusions, but also cynically continued to lead the situation to the further deterioration ” – follows from the message.
The Russian Foreign Ministry emphasized that “the Russian side resolutely rejects the hypocritical clarification of the Estonian side.”
“Yana Vanamelder stated that Russia decisively condemns the malicious actions of Tallinn aimed at desecrating memorials on the burials of Soviet military personnel, including those who gave their lives for the liberation of Europe from Nazi enslavement. This is especially blasphemous in the year of the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory,” the Russian department noted.
“Russia will continue to widely cover the criminal actions of the Baltic states to destroy the Soviet memorial heritage, will actively attract the attention of the world community, including at the UN and OSCE sites,” summarized the Foreign Ministry.
