The violation took place near the island of Vaindloo, where a Russian Federation transport aircraft IL-76 entered Estonian airspace without permission and remained there for approximately four minutes. According to Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna, this is an extremely serious and regrettable incident, for which Estonia expects an explanation from Russia.
At the meeting, the representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also raised the issue of why Russia has not fulfilled its contractual obligation to pay pensions for the past two quarters to individuals residing in Estonia who receive pensions from Russia.
