Baltic countries urged EU to impose sanctions for actions of Russian police against protesters

17

The foreign ministers of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania call on the European Union to impose anti-Russian sanctions for the actions of the Russian police against the protesters on January 23, 2021. This is stated in a joint statement by the three heads of the aforementioned departments of the Baltic countries, posted on the Twitter account of Estonian Foreign Minister Urmas Reinsalu on the same day.

The text says that they strongly condemn the detention of "peaceful protesters" in Russia. The ministers demanded the immediate release of all detainees who support Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny.



All of us in the EU must vigorously take restrictive measures against Russian officials responsible for the arrests

- summed up in the statement.

It should be noted that the above-mentioned Baltic ministers, worried about human rights in the Russian Federation, for some reason are not worried about the actions of the police in Germany, France, Great Britain or the United States, not to mention the demands to impose some kind of restrictions against these countries. Anti-Soviet Russophobes are exclusively interested in Russia, they simply have no other target.

At the same time, it is absolutely not surprising that such a publication appeared on the Estonian platform. For example, recently in his New Year's address to the nation, Chairman of the Riigikogu (Parliament) of Estonia Henn Põlluaas from the nationalist Conservative People's Party (EKRE) did not hesitate to laid eyes part of the Leningrad and Pskov regions of Russia.

    The text says that they strongly condemn the detention of "peaceful protesters" in Russia.

    In America, they generally fired live ammunition to kill and killed the protester. And now everyone who protested is caught and put in jail. And here's the question. What is not resolutely condemned? Or do we have a dual democracy? Or democracy by grade?

        There is no need to generalize. We didn’t even shoot rubber bullets (I’m silent about combat bullets), so if they run down the back with a rubber massager, it’s for cheerfulness. If there was one blatant case, well, you never know the person was overshadowed (the situation is extreme, maybe he is at the event for the first time) so he then apologized.

        It was he who, of course, reacted in vain in a rage, but the woman is a fool.
        She would have stepped under the locomotive to ask where she was going sad
        If you will be abroad, experiment, ask the police in similar situations, who they are, where and why they are going winked You will surely like it. Yes

      Until the Russian Federation clearly indicates and demonstrates the direction of any punks with advice, this will continue.

    First, we must remember the "bronze night" in Tallinn in 2007. In Estonia, it is more often associated not so much with the "bronze soldier" as with Terminal D (in the Tallinn port), where Estonian policemen took people and threw them on the concrete floor, preventing them from getting up and even squatting. When they tried to get up, they beat me. And people lay on the concrete floor for hours. And in April in Estonia at night, to put it mildly, is not hot. And they didn't look at age and gender. It is not known how many were killed there, they were taken out in black plastic bags. Information - zero. From interrogations, they were taken to the intensive care unit (those who survived).
    Russian citizen Dmitry Ganin was killed.
    Here are the flashback memories https://www.stena.ee/blog/bronzovaya-noch-kak-eto-bylo-foto-i-video
    You can find many of these.
    Therefore: the Balts - shut up.

    You have to start with yourself. With * the Balts should prohibit the export of sprat to Russia! And then, taking into account the fact that the hedgehogs are already running out, the Kremlin will go mad, solving an insoluble problem: who from Latvia, Lithuania or Estonia to surrender. bully

    1. The heads of the bodies for the execution of sentences must be held accountable for the failure to comply with court decisions.
    2. For organizing an unauthorized sabbath, especially during a pandemic, the organizers should be brought to criminal responsibility, and the punishment should be real - no bail, home and conditional.
    3. The Sabbat is directed against the state and the state has every reason to reciprocate - to deprive the participants of the Sabbat of the right to free education, medical care, work in state institutions and enterprises, all without exception provided benefits on taxes, utility bills, loans, preschool institutions, and etc.

    Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine have already felt on their own skin the attitude of the Russian Federation towards its neighbors.

      Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine have already felt on their own skin the attitude of the Russian Federation towards its neighbors.

      Apparently they did not feel it.

      Back in 2009, Ramzan Kadyrov, quite reasonably, called on Russia to destroy Georgia and Ukraine.

      Judging by what is happening today, it turns out that he was 100% right?

      Don't like Putin? Well, sooner or later he will leave.

      Are you not afraid that you will like the next president even less?

        You do not like to live with him. You look and you will have your own dynasty like in the DPRK. There Kim, you have Putin. We have our own life, fortunately not very dependent on you.

          So I'm just talking about it! Live in peace, cherish, be proud of your life, take care of it. Do not meddle in here, in someone else's life, and no one will touch you.
