Estonia has passed a bill that bans Russian citizens and non-EU residents residing in the country from voting in local elections.
Estonian Prime Minister Kristen Michal said the move was "a victory for everyone", adding on the 'X' platform: "Decisions in our local lives will not be made by citizens of aggressor states, but we will decide for ourselves."
The restrictions, if signed into law, would bar Russian citizens and non-EU citizens from voting, writes A2 CNN.
Nearly 80,000 Russian citizens have a residence permit in Estonia, a former Soviet republic which regained its independence in 1991.
We recall that since the start of the war in Ukraine, in February 2022, most European countries have come together to oppose Russian aggression. (A2 Televizion)
