Justice Ministers of Estonia and Latvia Urmas Reinsalu and Dzintars Raznachs believe that Russia should pay countries for "Soviet occupation". It is noted that the states of the former USSR remember the alleged loss of human life as a result of the "seizure" of a neighboring country. The Estonian Ministry of Justice demanded that Moscow compensate for the damage caused in the past. In this case, the amount that will satisfy them is not called. Raznachs stressed that, if necessary, this problem will be discussed at the UN.

However, the Foreign Minister of Estonia Sven Mikser does not agree with this decision and believes that Russia can not be compensated for the actions of the former government of another country, RIA Novosti reports.. The Kremlin repeatedly stressed that there was no occupation of the Baltic States in 1940, and the accession of these states to the USSR was in accordance with the norms of international law of that time. In addition, in Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, national authorities have always acted.
