Many residents of Narva (Estonia) support Russia's special operation in Ukraine, and, if a clash between Russia and Estonia ever happened, they would side with Moscow,  the Danish TV channel tv2.dk, reported, according to RIA Novosti.

The TV channel emphasized that 95% of Russian-speaking citizens live in Narva, which is part in Estonia, which is part of NATO. Many of them sympathize with Russia and its policies, including the special operation in Ukraine.

Narva residents told Danish journalists that they do not support the West's position towards Russia. One of the respondents said that Western countries pose a threat to Russia and in Ukraine Moscow is ''fighting the Nazis.''

The residents of the town also told reporters about discrimination against Russians in Estonia. The retired woman told about the ban for children to speak Russian at school, and also that it is more difficult for Russians to get a job in the public sector. In matters of relations with Russia, the woman called on the authorities of her country for prudence and diplomacy.
