Estonian border guards this week called for an end to the use of Google Maps when navigating the Narva River, which separates Estonia and Russia. Regina Cook, head of the Narva border checkpoint, said the incorrect display of the border in the app led to several cases of unintended entry into Russian territory.
The head of the Estonian Foreign Ministry, Margus Tsakhna, complained in August 2024 that Moscow had not responded to Tallinn’s proposal to measure the bottom of the Narva border in order to clearly define shipping routes. Already at the end of May of the same year, the Estonian Ministry of Internal Affairs announced that Russian border guards had removed buoys on the river, which marked shipping routes.
