From the night of Friday, November 17 to February 18, Finland will close its four main border crossings with Russia. The decision comes after the unusual influx of undocumented immigrants in recent days. According to Helsinki, this is a malicious operation: the Finnish government accuses Moscow of manipulating asylum seekers for destabilizing purposes, in retaliation for its membership in NATO. The European Commission has denounced Russia’s “shameful manipulation” of migrants.
