"After the war, of course, the situation will need to be assessed anew. We have a common border, and there is a dialogue on some everyday issues," Korobeinik told Izvestia.

In 2014-2020, there was a cross-border cooperation program between the Russian Federation and Estonia. Projects were implemented to improve the environmental situation and develop transport links in the waters of the Pskov-Peipsi reservoir, the border areas of the two countries received investments in the amount of €34.2 million.

"After the conflict in Ukraine is resolved through negotiations, all doors will be open," said Estonian MP Grunthal in an interview with Izvestia.

After the start of the special military operation (SVO) in February 2022, the authorities of the Baltic countries disrupted cross-border programs, as well as increased Russophobic rhetoric. Estonia, in particular, adopted a law on depriving citizens of the Russian Federation and Belarus of the right to vote in local elections.
