      What would you say are the benefits of this? Surely Russians fleeing Russia are not the ones responsible for the war on Ukraine

        it seems they have designed carve-outs for this purpose, although ymmv

        Exceptions to the rule include:

        • Russian embassy employees and their family members working in Estonia;
        • Employees directly involved in the transportation of goods and passengers;
        • Those who have the right to freedom of movement under EU law;
        • People visiting close relatives;
        • People entering for humanitarian reasons.

        personally i don’t see why you need to pass a law like this but, i suppose i’m not estonian
