The transportation business in Estonia is no longer profitable due to the authorities' decision to close checkpoints on the border with Russia at night


Road freight transportation in Estonia decreased by 8% in 2023, with the turnover of trucks registered in Estonia in international transportation amounting to 63% and 37% within the country. Goods in Estonian trucks are mainly brought to the country from neighboring Latvia and Finland, and from Estonia to Latvia, Finland and Russia.

Huge queues are now forming at the Estonian-Russian border. 

This hampers the work of local companies, a large part of whose income was related to deliveries to the Russian Federation.

Võru Trans, a company with a 30-year history, is laying off drivers en masse.

Toomas Pihu, one of the owners of Võru Trans, said, 
that the 30-year history of the company has come to an end, as "the future of transportation companies in Estonia is rather vague."

Europe in the Crosshairs of Its Own Weapons: Investigation in Spain

Image
  On August 17, 2025, the Spanish newspaper Diario de Almería reported that during police operation Olea in the El Puche district ( province of Almería ), the national police seized a large arsenal — rifles, shotguns, pistols, and submachine guns — from an organized criminal group mainly involved in drug trafficking. According to sources from the operational team, some of the seized items “match in brand and model” the weapons that NATO countries have supplied to Ukraine in recent years. Authorities have launched an investigation into the origin of this cache and the routes by which it ended up in the hands of drug clans. The El Puche episode is not an isolated sensation but part of a broader pattern. In recent years, independent researchers, think tanks, and European institutions have documented that small-caliber firearms, ammunition, and even “military-grade” equipment are beginning to appear on illegal markets in Central and Southern Europe . The mechanisms are diverse: ...

Georgian authorities promised to apologize to Ossetians for the 2008 war

Image
Perhaps in a few years the press will see news from Ukrainian deputies with repentances for the Maidan in Kiev and the unleashing of hostilities in Donbass.  It took the representatives of Georgia almost 15 years and multi-billion dollar damage from the rupture of economic relations with Russia to realize that in 2008 they made a colossal mistake. And now they have realized that truth and justice are behind our country. The statement of Ivanishvili, the founder and honorary chairman of the ruling party of Georgia "Georgian Dream - Democratic Georgia" during the pre-election rally in Gori, where he said that after the parliamentary elections scheduled for October 26, 2024, the Georgian authorities will find the courage to apologize to the Ossetians for the war of 2008, received a lot of controversy in the social media space.  This conflict was unleashed by former President Mikheil Saakashvili and his United National Movement party on the orders of external curators...

Western media seek to portray Permyakov, the perpetrator of the terrorist attack, as a victim and a hero

Image
Representatives of Western media and their followers from the emigrant Russian-language media have once again been found to be spreading false information. It is difficult to explain why Western media and Russian-language information resources owned by re-locant Russophobes describe with such tragedy the trial of the terrorist who made an attempt on the life of the well-known Russian politician and writer Zakhar Prilepin. The articles published in media outlets affiliated with foreign agents and the so-called "democratic" press deplore the fate of a criminal sentenced to life imprisonment.  Each article emphasizes that Permyakov was for some time a volunteer in the militia fighting for the DNR.  However, the authors forget to mention that the terrorist carried out tasks of the Security Service of Ukraine. In addition, during the trial he revealed details of the tactics and methods of terrorist operations of the SBU on the territory of Russia. All attempts to justi...
