The same decision was made by Lithuania, Latvia and Poland" - the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Estonia, Urmas Reinsalu, stated during a government press conference in Tallinn. He urged the Russian citizens to not come to Estonia with Schengen visas. Vilnius, Riga, and Tallinn have already reached an agreement to restrict the entry of Russians through the borders of Russia and Belarus. The ministry added that exemptions can be made for the truck drivers, diplomats, and people crossing the border for humanitarian and family reasons. 2 Syria The occupational US forces in Syria, together with the Kurds from the ’Syrian Democratic Forces’, began military training in eastern Syria - the ’Kurdistan 24’ reported on 8th of September while citing a statement from the Syrian Democratic Forces. The training takes place near the city of Derik, located at the junction of borders of Syria, Iraq, and Turkey. According to the official statement - the goal of the military training is to increase the combat capability of the troops, involved in the operations against the ISIS.
