Russia has categorically rejected Estonia’s recent allegations of an airspace violation, labeling the claims as unjustified and politically motivated. Moscow accused Tallinn of attempting to escalate regional tensions by fabricating incidents without concrete evidence. According to a statement from the Russian Defense Ministry, no Russian aircraft breached Estonian airspace during the specified timeframe, emphasizing their commitment to international aviation norms and border integrity.

In response, Moscow outlined several points to dismiss Estonia’s accusations:

  • Routine military exercises: The alleged incursion coincided with scheduled Russian military drills in adjacent airspaces.
  • Historical context: Similar claims have been made in the past without substantiated proof, suggesting a pattern of provocations.
