"Tallinn plans 2-meter high, 108-kilometer long wall on its border with Russia"
Estonia intends to build a fence along its border with Russia to provide protection against border violations, according to Ukraine Today.
The fence will be complete with barbed wire, video cameras, and drones, covering two-thirds of the Estonian-Russian border, according to the Russian-language Latvia-based Meduza ezine, Ukraine Today reports. Despite high cost (EUR 71 million), Estonia is boosting its security measures amid Russian aggression in the region as Moscow continues with its missile, ground, and air exercises near Eastern Europe, according to RFE/RL.
^ Border fences/walls are being built round the world (ie Israel, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the Ukraine, the US and now Estonia.) While they weren't stop all forms of border incursions (ie an invading military, illegal immigrants, drug smuggling, etc) it is one more step that will help to secure a country's borders. These fortifications are being built to stop terrorists and criminals from having easy access into another country. ^
