Estonia is trying to move away from the agreements on Lake Peipsi and the Narva River — FSB

The Estonian authorities are trying to unilaterally revise the agreements with the Russian Federation on the delimitation of the waters of Lake Peipsi and the Narva River.

This was announced in an interview with Rossiyskaya Gazeta by the first deputy director — head of the border service of the FSB of the Russian Federation Vladimir Kulishov. According to him, this creates conditions for conflict situations on the state border.

"The Estonian authorities are trying to move away from compliance with the agreements on the delimitation of the waters of Lake Peipsi and the Narva River. Their initiatives create conditions for conflict situations on the state border, as well as negatively affect the practice of ensuring the safety of navigation on border waters," the statement said.

The Russian side is taking measures to resolve the situation using the capabilities of border representatives and the Russian Foreign Ministry.

Kulishov also informed that European countries are looking for grounds for artificial restrictions on Russia's maritime economic activity and freedom of navigation in the Baltic Sea.

Earlier, EADaily reported that the Estonian Border Guard Service recommended not using Google Maps when traveling along the Narva River, as the vessel may mistakenly end up in Russian territorial waters.
