VILNIUS, November 30. /TASS/. Estonia is ready to close its border with Russia over the situation with migrants which Tallinn interprets as "hybrid attacks," Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna said in a statement.

According to the Estonian Foreign Ministry, the top diplomat addressed the issue at a meeting of Nordic and Baltic foreign ministers (NB8) in Brussels, held on the sidelines of the NATO ministerial meeting. The top Estonian diplomat touched on the situation at the Russian-Finnish border and described it as "a blatant hybrid attack conducted by Russia, aimed at sowing anxiety and instability."
