Mass Evacuation of Estonia

Estonian Cabinet Moves to Stockholm

The Estonian cabinet has officially moved from its original place to Stockholm. There has been a mass evacuation of Estonia with many people opting to leave via plane, boat, and any other method available. The evacuation began toward Finland and Sweden. They have requested Alliance for Peacebuilding for 100,000 personnel, supplies (50 freights of food and water, 30 of medications, doctors), 200 boats and 300 planes. Their requests to fulfill the later are also sent to the Red Cross.

UPDATE: The Prime Minister has now provided a comment on the evacuation.

The Prime Minister states," I formally request you as members of the EU to provide shelter for Estonian civilians in Sweden and Finland. If we do not find shelter then the current humanitarian crisis will worsen."
