  "account": "Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna accused Russia of \"sabotage\" following an arson attack on the defense company Milrem Robotics in Tallinn. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov immediately rejected the claim, calling it \"baseless\" and \"ill-considered.\" Tsahkna stated that the perpetrators had been apprehended and that Estonia had summoned the Russian ambassador. The Estonian leader emphasized that the attack was part of Russia's campaign to intimidate allies and weaken support for Ukraine. NATO chief Mark Rutte echoed Tsahkna's sentiments, stating that Russia continues its \"reckless campaign of hostile actions against NATO allies.\" Lithuania's foreign minister Kestutis Budrys and Latvia's president Edgars Rinkevics also condemned the attack, reaffirming their support for Ukraine. Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson called the attribution of the attack \"extremely serious\" and directed against Europe as a whole.",
  "summary": "Estonia has accused Russia of ordering an arson attack on defence company Milrem Robotics in Tallinn, a claim Moscow rejected as baseless. The incident comes amid growing accusations of Russian hybrid activity across Europe and renewed calls from NATO allies to strengthen support for Ukraine.",
