Summary
Estonia said with “full confidence” that Russian special services commissioned the Aug. 15 arson attack on defense manufacturer Milrem Robotics in Tallinn.
Prime Minister Kristen Michal called the blaze an act of sabotage, escalating the case from an early suspicion to a formal state accusation.
Milrem Robotics supplies unmanned ground vehicles to Ukraine, placing the attack in the wider pattern of alleged Russian hybrid operations against Kyiv’s European backers.
Two Latvian suspects have been detained and transferred to Estonia, while the Kremlin has rejected the accusation as unsubstantiated.
