Commander Claims All Citizens Are Welcome

Commander of Estonian Defense Forces Claims to Have Never Targeted Ethnic Russians

Responding to recent allegations that the Estonian Defense Forces set up concentration camps in Johvi, the Commander of Estonian Defense Forces states that this claim is false.

Regarding the matter, the Commander of Estonian Defense Forces says," I have never targeted Ethnic Russians that reside in Estonia or abroad. All citizens and other residences are welcome in Russia. My primary task has always been the defense of Estonia and it people. The Estonian Defense Forces have not set up concentration camps in Jovi, they are merely places of refuge for the innocent civilians of Narva that needed to be relocated due to the violence caused by the Russian Separatists. We will increase provisions for the refugees as needed to better protect them. I do not condone the targeting of refugees, especially with poisoning. In no way does the poisoning of civilians serve my interests in preserving the sovereignty of Estonia."
