The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Estonia, Urmas Reinsalu, suggests that Ukraine may be behind the explosion on the Kerch Bridge on Saturday morning and congratulated the "Ukrainian special services" on this event. Reinsalu said this in a comment from Delfi.
"Estonia certainly welcomes this (explosion on the Kerch bridge) and welcomes the Ukrainian special forces, which are probably behind this operation," said the head of the Estonian Foreign Ministry.
He added that the Kerch bridge has an important symbolic meaning for Russia, as it connects Russia and Crimea and was an important logistical link. For Vladimir Putin personally, the bridge was also important as a symbol of the fact that Crimea "will forever remain a part of Russia."
Reynsalu does not rule out that the bridge was planned to be blown up for Putin's 70th birthday.
"I believe that this goal has been around for a long time," he added.
