In Finland said that they are not going to open the border with Russia

According to Hänkänen, Finland does not plan to open the border due to the perceived threat of an influx of refugees. He also stressed the need to strengthen controls on border security, infrastructure and real estate transactions. Earlier, the Finnish Defense Ministry proposed a bill that prohibits real estate transactions for Russian citizens. Russian Ambassador to Finland Pavel Kuznetsov said that this decision was dictated by Russophobia and military psychosis. He also noted that Russia will take retaliatory measures based on its national interests. The border between Finland and Russia remains closed by Finnish authorities. Restrictions on crossing the border were introduced in November 2023 due to the uncontrolled flow of refugees from third countries. Finnish authorities have accused Russia of sending asylum seekers to the border. Finnish President Alexander Stubb believes that the opening of the border with Russia depends on Moscow. Earlier in the Leningrad region were detained four foreign citizens who tried to illegally cross the border with Finland.
