Port in the city of Tallinn . File photoHELSINKI, May 6.Russian Ambassador to Tallinn Vladimir Lipaev was summoned to the Estonian Foreign Ministry on Friday in connection with a recent statement by the Russian embassy that was allegedly used to attack Estonian Foreign Minister Eva-Maria Liimets, the press service of the Foreign Ministry of the Baltic Republic said. «Statement of the Russian embassy was poorly worded and offensive propaganda. The statement and the post on social networks presented irrelevant topics and there was no adequate argumentation, by which they wanted to attack the Estonian Foreign Minister in an insulting way, «the press service of the vice-chancellor of the ministry quotes Märt Volmer, who had a meeting with Lipaev. Volmer stressed that according to the recently published World Press Freedom Index, Estonia is in the lead and ranks fourth in the ranking. According to the vice-chancellor, countries at the bottom of the table could learn a lot from Estonia in how to ensure freedom of the press and democratic development in the country. The Russian Embassy on Thursday issued a statement saying that it does not consider objectively the high assessment of the level of freedom of speech in Estonia and gave examples of numerous violations of the principles of freedom of speech in the Baltic Republic. The embassy noted that Foreign Minister Eva-Maria Liimets was quick to declare that «Estonia has taken a leading role in protecting media freedom in the world» and also accused Russia of allegedly «concealing and distorting the truth» when covering events in Ukraine. At the same time, Russian diplomats recalled that since February of this year, a ban on broadcasting more than 20 Russian TV channels has been introduced in Estonia, and 7 information Internet resources have been blocked. As a result of these acts of political censorship, more than 400 thousand inhabitants of Estonia (about 1/3 of the population) were deprived of access to objective and truthful information about events taking place in the world. jpg» />The Estonian Foreign Ministry called on the EU to prepare the seventh package of sanctions against Russia
