Eesti ja Ukraina plaanivad koondada Euroopa riigid, et piirata Venemaa ja Valgevene sportlaste naasmist rahvusvahelisse sporti raha ja viisadega, pärast seda, kui ROK tühistas Venemaa olümpiakomitee tegevuskeelu, mis tekitas tugeva vastureaktsiooni. #VenemaaSport #Ukraina #ROK
Eestis peetakse vajalikuks, et riigid, sealhulgas Eesti ja teised Euroopa liitlased, pakuksid kiiresti tuge Lätile ja tegeleksid otsustavalt Valgevene režiimi poolt ellu kutsutud rändesurve probleemiga, et vältida tulevasi konflikte ja tagajärgi Euroopa ühiskondades. #illegaalneimmigratsioon #rändesurve #Valgevene
Valgevene ametivõimud hoiatasid, et Poolas on võimalik terrorioht, kuna üks isik kavandas rünnakut Valgevene aktivisti laste vastu, millele Poola julgeolekuteenistused reageerivad tõsiselt ning analüüsivad saadud teavet. #Poola #Valgevene #terrorism
Eesti Politsei- ja Piirivalveamet (PPA) on järjepidevalt tabanud ebaseaduslikke piiriületajaid, kes püüavad Eestisse siseneda Läti kaudu, kus Valgevene rändesurve on suurenenud, ja PPA osaleb aktiivselt olukorra kontrollimises ja migratsiooni tõkestamises. #ebaseaduslikpiiriületus #piirivalve #Eesti
