According to the Eesti Ekspress newspaper, the Russian embassy congratulated the Estonian leader on her 50th Birthday, having sent flowers, chocolate, and a bottle of Crimean sparkling wine, which the presidential office sent back.
Kaljulaid celebrated her 50th birthday on December 30, 2019.
As UNIAN reported earlier, the ruling coalition in Estonia does not intend to ratify the state border treaty with Russia, which was signed in 2014.
Earlier, the speaker of the Estonian parliament said Russia had annexed about 5% of the country's territory.
