According to journalists, this decision was made by the Harju County Court, which became the first precedent in the history of the country.
“In February, the security police detained 34-year-old Vladimir at the border in Narva, who was traveling from Estonia to Russia by bus with the intention of further reaching Lugansk. Later, during a search, prohibited weapons and ammunition were found on him. In Lugansk, he intended to join the detachments that are fighting against the Ukrainian authorities,” the article says.
As Estonian law enforcement officers note, last year Vladimir already visited Lugansk twice and each time stayed there for a month.
“Both times he joined armed groups that operated in the Lugansk region and whose activities, according to data received from Ukraine, were aimed at committing terrorist crimes against the Ukrainian state,” the newspaper quotes the prosecutor of the Estonian State Prosecutor’s Office, Steven-Hristo Evestus.
It is reported that Ukrainian investigators have already visited Estonia, where they familiarized themselves with the paperwork and are now preparing for the investigation in Ukraine.
