The evasive voyage: the russian escaped to Estonia on a sup board

Estonian border guards detained a 38-year-old russian who illegally crossed the border at the estuary of the Narova River.

On Monday, September 26, a russian illegally crossed the Estonian border on a sup board. The incident took place at the mouth of the Narova River around one o’clock in the morning, reports the Estonian television and radio company ERR.

Estonian border guards detained a 38-year-old man at one of the bus stops. As it turned out, he was running away from the mobilization announced in russian federation. He was fined and sent back to russia.

The head of the border and migration surveillance service of the Ida prefecture, Eerik Purgel, said that since February, the state border of Estonia has been heavily guarded.

“In this case, it was an illegal crossing of the border, which was carried out due to fear of the mobilization announced in the neighboring country,” Purgel emphasized.
