Sardaukar Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 https://yle.fi/a/74-20060816 Finland announced plans to close four border crossing points in the southeast from midnight on Friday, but four more will remain open further north along the country's frontier with Russia. Finland's government is prepared to take further action if Thursday's decision to close four crossing points on the border with Russia does not help to calm the situation on the eastern frontier, according to Finance Minister and Deputy PM Riikka Purra.

Ivanhoe Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Lumping Finland in with the Noords... https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-67564175 Quote Finland has closed the last crossing on its long Russian border, prompting the Kremlin to condemn an "absolutely redundant measure". The northern crossing at Raja-Jooseppi closed for two weeks at 14:00 (12:00 GMT) on Wednesday, after Helsinki accused Russia of channelling asylum seekers towards Finland. Finland says it has become the target of a Russian "hybrid operation". Some 900 asylum seekers have crossed the border this month. The influx is dramatically higher than the previous number of barely one a day and Finland's border guard says before August 2023 Russian authorities barred foreign citizens from travelling to the area without the necessary visas.
