Russian journalists, who were detained by Estonian police, had their Schengen visas cancelled and were banned from entering EU countries for three years. This is reported by Izvestia. According to the publication, the decision was made by the Estonian authorities due to the fact that “the conditions and purpose of the intended stay were not recognized.”
Recall that on the eve of the correspondent Ksenia Soldatova and cameraman Dmitry Timofeev were removed from the train that was traveling from Narva to Tallinn. The police showed the journalists a photo in which they are shooting a monument to the T-34 tank. After that, they were taken to the police station and held for several hours.
According to the publication, no specific charges were brought against the film crew. Later, the journalists were taken to Narva and sent back to the territory of the Russian Federation. On the instructions of the editorial board, Soldatova and Timofeev had to prepare two materials: about the cancellation of European visas to Russians and about the fate of the monument to the T-34 tank in Estonia.
