Estonian authorities conducted checks on Russian license plates from a ship arriving from Helsinki. Ten vehicles with Russian registrations were examined and permitted to disembark. Finnish officials reported not identifying any security risk associated with the Russian citizens traveling through.

Officials noted that not all individuals departing Russia have expressed condemnation of the conflict in Ukraine. Estonia is considering the potential arrival of individuals fleeing mobilization, and assessing preparedness for a possible influx of migrants. The government is evaluating the possibility that a significant number of Russians seeking to avoid mobilization may arrive in Estonia and remain.
