According to the President's Office, defense advisor Madis Roll received a deceptive call from Russia in May.
No sensitive information was shared during the call. The Russian news agency misleadingly reported on the conversation.
Roll stated that Russia is guilty in the war against Ukraine. He discussed Estonia and Ukraine's cooperation to prevent drones from reaching Estonia.
Russian propaganda has distorted reality. Similar calls were made to representatives of other Baltic states.
Ukraine has already been informed about this. Russian channels wrote on Wednesday that pranksters Vladimir Kuznetsov and Alexei Stoljarov deceived Roll.
They posed as the Secretary of Ukraine's National Security Council. According to Russian channels, Roll said that Estonia fully supports Ukraine.
Roll also spoke about coordinating attacks against St. Petersburg. He accused Russia of creating tensions.
Estonian officials are collaborating with Ukraine. The pranksters also spoke with Lithuania's security advisor.
Lithuania fully supports Ukraine. Roll informed Estonian security agencies about the call.
The President's Office stated that Russian propaganda channels use such calls for propaganda purposes.
This demonstrates Russia's weakness, not strength. Russia's responsibility in Ukraine does not diminish.
Vovan and Lexus have deceived several Western politicians over the past decade.
They call or arrange video calls, posing as leaders or ministers of other countries.
Only selected excerpts from the conversations reach the public. Russian propaganda channels exploit them.
A few years ago, former Prime Minister Kaja Kallas also received a fake call. The Finnish Ministry of Foreign Affairs launched an investigation.
Vovan and Lexus released a recording with the Finnish Foreign Minister. They called on behalf of an African politician.
