Estonia has arrested a Russian citizen on suspicion of spying for Russia, the country’s security service writes in a statement.

The suspected spy has been a teacher of international political theory at a university in Estonia since 2010, reports the country’s public service channel ERR.

“The intelligence interest of the attacking state in Estonia remains high,” says the head of the security service, Margo Palloson, in the statement.
