Finland is building a wall on the border with Russia. This is the answer to organized migration
Last year, Finland began the construction of a fence, which will eventually cover 200 km from the total length of the border with Russia of 1344 km. This is the country's response to The influx of migrants across the border with Russia.
“The main goal of the fence is to control large groups of people trying to get from Russia to Finland,” said the deputy commander of the Southeast Border Guard District of Finland Antti Virta.
According to the head of surgery Samuel Siljainen, the border dam is absolutely necessary for maintaining the security of the border and the fight against organized migration.
Russia denies that it has been behind the organization of migrants. The Russian government declared that it “deeply regrets” on Finland's decision to close border crossings on the border, adding that it reflects the anti -Russian position of Helsinki.
On December 21, 2024, the Prime Minister of Finland Petteri ORPO stated that the eastern border of the country with Russia would remain closed for an indefinite period.
