The man said that the ships belong to Russia, and he also made photos of them.
"When our ship approached them, it became clear that these are warships," Muukkonen explained and added that he could not see the distinctive signs of the ships, but he is sure that most of them are Russian, and others belong to Estonia.
According to the man, he also saw a submarine, which is a direct indication of the Russians. "The Russians are those who invade the territorial waters of other countries," added Finn, who often makes trips from Finland to Estonia and back because of his work.
