Välisminister Margus Tsahkna ütles, et Lähis-Idas on . Lennud ei käi ja pole teada, millal need alustavad. Öö näitas, et . Iraan ründab kõiki, ka oma sõpru. Positiivset uudist praegu pole.
Tsahkna ütles, et olukord ei rahune lähipäevadel. Pigem muutub see halvemaks, sest Iraan on . Iraani režiim käitub nagu haavatud kiskja. Keegi ei tea, millal . Tundub, et see võib kesta kaua.
Hea on see, et nüüd teame, kus Eesti inimesed on. Neile saab täpsemat infot edastada. Emiraatides on umbes 1500 Eesti inimest. Nendega suhtlemiseks on WhatsAppi grupp.
Grupis on olnud , et lennud algavad. Ärge liikuge lennujaama, kui pole kindlat teadet. Praegu ei näe. Olukord võib halveneda. Oleme kannatlikud.
Välisministeerium ei saa keelata inimestel reisida. On riigid, kuhu ei soovitata minna. Kuid me . Infot on jagatud pidevalt.
Keegi ei teadnud, et USA ja Iisrael ründavad Iraani nii suurelt. See oli saladus. Alguses arvati, et see on surve Iraanile. Kuid nüüd on palju inimesi kinni, ka eestlased. Paljud läksid sinna äri või puhkuse pärast.
Riik ei saa praegu Eesti inimesi sealt ära tuua. Mõned on ise liikunud Omaani, et sealt lennata. Kuid . Euroopa Liidu arvates pole mõtet sinna lende korraldada, sest ligi pääsemine on raske.
Kaitseminister Hanno Pevkur oli Dubais. Ta on nüüd maismaad pidi kuhugi liikunud. Kus ta täpselt on, seda Tsahkna ei tea. Pevkur on .
Araabia Ühendemiraatides on 1527 Eesti kodanikku. Välisministeerium teab, kus on 1040 inimest Emiraatides, 34 Omaanis, 25 Kataris, 12 Iisraelis ja 7 Saudi Araabias.
Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna said the situation in the Middle East has worsened. Flights are not operating, and it is unknown when they will resume. The night showed there is no peace in the region. Iran is attacking everyone, even its allies. There is no positive news at the moment.
Tsahkna said the situation will not calm down in the coming days. Rather, it will worsen because Iran is unpredictable. The Iranian regime is behaving like a wounded predator. No one knows when the conflict will end. It seems it could last a long time.
The good thing is that we now know where Estonian citizens are. More precise information can be shared with them. There are about 1,500 Estonians in the Emirates. A WhatsApp group has been created to communicate with them.
There has been misinformation in the group claiming flights will resume. Do not go to the airport unless there is official confirmation. Currently, no opening of airspace is visible. The situation may worsen. We must be patient.
The Foreign Ministry cannot ban people from traveling. There are countries where travel is not recommended. However, we warn that the Middle East is dangerous. Information is being shared continuously.
No one knew the US and Israel would attack Iran on such a large scale. It was a secret. Initially, it was thought to be pressure on Iran. But now many people are stuck, including Estonians. Many went there for business or vacation.
The state cannot currently bring Estonian citizens back. Some have moved to Oman to fly from there. However, flights are disrupted. The EU believes there is no point in organizing flights there because access is difficult.
Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur was in Dubai. He has now moved somewhere by land. Tsahkna does not know exactly where he is. Pevkur is in a safe location.
There are 1,527 Estonian citizens in the UAE. The Foreign Ministry knows the whereabouts of 1,040 people in the Emirates, 34 in Oman, 25 in Qatar, 12 in Israel, and 7 in Saudi Arabia.
