The other day, it became known that huge queues, mostly of Ukrainian citizens, had formed on the Russian-Estonian border.

After that, according to the Estonian side,

 Russian security forces gathered Ukrainian refugees and took them somewhere in trucks.

The diplomatic agency emphasized that they are currently investigating all the circumstances of this incident, the spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Oleg Nikolenko, said on Twitter.

"The Embassy of Ukraine in Estonia interacts with Estonian competent authorities to clarify the situation with Ukrainian citizens on the Russian-Estonian border. The issue of departure of Ukrainians from Russia

is under special control of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other involved state bodies of Ukraine

," he noted.

We will remind that over the last few days, over a thousand people, mostly Ukrainians, who were prevented from entering Estonia by the Russian authorities due to delays in border procedures, have gathered on the Russian side of the southeastern border of Estonia.

The Minister of the Interior of Estonia, Lauri Laenemets, said that the people standing at the border were collected and taken somewhere by trucks.
