The FSB said the limits will bar small boats, night travel and firearms to protect border rules and aquatic resources.
- From September 16–26, Russia's Federal Security Service imposed temporary movement restrictions in the Kingisepp and Slantsy districts near Estonia to "prevent violations of border and migration regulations."
- Specific restrictions include a nighttime movement ban outside populated areas within a five-kilometer strip, a prohibition on hunting and carrying firearms, and blocked vessel travel on the Narva River between Bolshaya Cheryomukha and Krivasoo.
- Estonian border representative Andris Viltsin noted Russia is "increasingly devoting measures and resources to guarding the border" in order to enhance readiness and capabilities across the region.
- Interior Minister Igor Taro stated "there have certainly been various theories about another round of forced mobilization" and suggested authorities might be attempting to prevent citizens from fleeing the country.
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy previously warned that Russia plans to mobilize around 300,000 people following the State Duma elections, providing context for these tighter border controls.
