moscow • Russia halted deliveries of oil products to Estonia yesterday in a move that coincided with protests in Moscow over the Baltic state’s relocation of a Soviet war memorial.
The cut-off was likely to revive Western fears the Kremlin is using its energy might as a political weapon against ex-Soviet neighbours.
Russia’s state rail monopoly said it planned to carry out maintenance on the rail link to Estonia, disrupting supplies.
Coal exporters said Russian railways had also halted exports of steam coal via Estonia for this month, totalling up to 900,000 tonnes, citing a shortage of railway wagons.
They said Russian rail monopoly RzHD told them they must use their own rail wagons, not RzHD’s, but it has not been possible with such short notice to find alternative wagons.
Moscow and Tallinn have been trading barbs since Estonia last week moved a bronze statue of a Red Army soldier—revered in Russia as a symbol of its huge sacrifices in World War Two — from its spot in the centre of the capital.

Now those same Chechens are part of the Russian army. Putin sent two battalions of “former rebel” muslim Chechens to Lebanon to help hizb-allah’s jihad against Israel. Russia’s population is almost a quarter muslim. How much of Russia’s army is muslim, now? Half?
USA is most popular in Islamic world, not to mention intention to give Muslims Christian Kosovo just to appease Muslims.
Time for Berlin Airlift, Part Deux.
Russia sells the Ayatollahs missiles and enriched uranium, and they invite HAMAS to the Kremlin to plan their jihad. Russia is a dhimmi nation which denies that HAMAS and Hizballah are terrorists.
Below is the evolution of NATO members up to 2004:
In light of the Kremlin's orchestrated aggression in the northern Baltic's, a uniformed, NATO, nuclear protective missile shield is more then required from Estonia to Bulgaria, in order to hopefully prevent, plus guarantee a swift NATO response to any future full scale Russian land invasions or nuclear attacks directed at 'former' Moscow controlled, now free, Eastern European nations.
“What is wrong with using weapon aganst enemies?”
Russias decision to weaponize energy will come back to crush them within ten years Europe will shift to nuke and coal and Russia will become destitute.
From the above article:
The Swedish ambassador, Johan Moldander, was also attacked on Wednesday as he was leaving the Estonian embassy in Moscow -- (Nashi)youths kicked his car and tore the Swedish flag off it. In Stockholm, the Swedish Foreign Ministry summoned the Russian ambassador, telling him the incident had been a "flagrant and unacceptable violation against the Vienna Convention," on diplomatic relations.
Is there any doubt?
Thanks for the NATO progression map.
Putin is testing NATO and trying to reduce tensions at home by these adventures.
Sweden should join NATO.
Check out the 2007 version of Putin's 'Reichstag fire' ..
MOSCOW. May 3 - Russia has expresses its protest to Sweden and demanded an urgent investigation of the attack on the Russian embassy in Stockholm.
"The Russian Foreign Ministry has demanded that Swedish authorities take urgent measures to investigate the circumstances of this incident and provide adequate security for the employees of the Russian embassy in Sweden," the Russian Foreign Ministry told Interfax on Thursday.
This was Moscow's response to the attack on the Russian embassy in Stockholm, in which a group of unknown people pelted the embassy with stones.
"unknown people..
Today's Kremlin controlled media - from Stalinism to Putinism, with an extra dose of Dr. Goebbel's 'Big Lie'.
Putin's Nashi are modern day Nazis, running the same political games in Moscow that Hitler ran in 1933 - 1935. Intimidation, bully boy tactics.
The Kremlin has been deliriously busy forming the ongoing Putin personality cult. Then again, each one of Russia's totalitarian tyrants had their own personality cult.By and large the mass media remains mute on the obvious alarming parallels between the 'Putin Youth' of today's Russia (set up for the 2008 Russian elections) and the 'Hitler Youth' of Nazi Germany.
Will Putin ‘run’ again ?
( I know that he said that he will not.)
Now those same Chechens are part of the Russian army. Putin sent two battalions of “former rebel” muslim Chechens to Lebanon to help hizb-allah’s jihad against Israel. ==
Joe why you distort the truth? 2 battalions sent to Lebanon are the engineer battalions to build bridges which Israeli bonbed. Everyone may check on Net that I speak truth.
Russia’s population is almost a quarter muslim. How much of Russia’s army is muslim, now? Half?==
Russia is 5% muslim now. Yes the muslim soldiers are in Russian army. But that way it was long before today. During 19 century Russian army had the muslim divisions. And good amount of the officers were muslim.
Russias decision to weaponize energy will come back to crush them within ten years Europe will shift to nuke and coal and Russia will become destitute.==
Do you think that during 10 years Russia won’t devise something new? Europe has nuclier and coal right now why they didn’t switch on it today?
The Kremlin has been deliriously busy forming the ongoing Putin personality cult.==
So stupid and so untrue. You turn to pure black propaganda.
