Estonia blames Russia for arson at defence company supplying Ukraine
yahoo ^ | 09/29/2026 | Paulin Kola

Russia was behind an arson attack on an Estonian defence company in the capital Tallinn last month, authorities say.

Prime Minister Kristen Michal said the attack on Milrem Robotics - which supplies Ukraine with unmanned military vehicles - was ordered by Russian special services, but gave no details.

Moscow has been accused of launching sabotage attacks in a number of Nato countries that have been helping Ukraine since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of its neighbour in February 2022.

Russia denies such allegations and has been quick to reject the Estonian accusation, too. But EU countries have rushed to Estonia's support, adding such attacks will not deter them from helping Ukraine.

The attack on Milrem Robotics occurred on the night of 14-15 August.

Of course they did it. I don’t blame them. Everyone takes their chances when they pick a side.

And????

Not being pro Rooskie or pro Ukie here, but a defense company supplying Ukraine with defence materials is not in Russia’s best interests. I could see why they would torch it.

We supply and train with the Ukrainians fighting the Russians and North Koreans.

It is a mystery why the invasion forces would now be defended by some here for spreading the war to our NATO allies.

This moral equivalency stuff for Russia, North Korea, and Red China is new fairly new at FR.

Who’s defending the Russians? I love that the Ukes and Russkies are killing each other off. Two corrupt birds of the same feather as far as I’m concerned.

If someone picks a side, they may be targeted. Simple as that.

Anyway, I fought the cold war long ago and no longer adhere to that mindset.

Yeah, and if Putin thought he could get away with setting fire to a defense company in the US, he would do it.

But he can’t. Estonia? He. He could that.

America supports Ukraine, we even have troops there being trained by them, we train with them in our military exercises.

The Russian invasion forces which Communist China is helping to train and arm, and the Communist North Korean Army combat troops aiding in the invasion, are all bad guys and enemies of the United States.

Some of us haven’t outgrown being pro-America.

Sure, if Russia, or its allies Red China and North Korea thought that they could attack America they would do it, but we are part of NATO as is Estonia, it looks like Putin is working at enlarging his war with all these terrorist attacks and clandestine missions against Europe.

Just the other day a Starlink station in Poland went up in flames.

Poland says Starlink station fire 'act of sabotage'

He said the fire at the station belonging to Polish state-owned telecom company Exatel broke out late on Wednesday.

Yep it does look that way.

And so NATO should step up and do something.

What would you have them do?

It is your statement, you must have something in mind, if I come to the conclusion that you have then I will probably have a suggestion.

The Ukraine is a puppet for the Europeans. It is Europe’s war. The Europeans are not our friends any more than North Korea is.

How you add “pro-American” and “moral equivalent” to any of this is not clear.

I was being sarcastic.

What IS there to do? Put Russia on Double Secret Probation?

Thankfully for the US we can say....

Not our circus. Not our monkeys.

It obviously is of great interest to us or President Trump would not have been so involved in helping Ukraine and working with them and the rest of NATO against the Russian threat during both of his terms, and now that the North Korean Army is fighting in Europe it becomes even more important to us.
