Finland Completes Border Fence with Russia
Finland Completes Border Fence with Russia According to Yle, the project cost €356 million and took four years to complete. The fence is equipped with barbed wire, a patrol road, and surveillance systems. The decision was made following the migration crisis of 2022, when over a thousand Russians crossed the border. Helsinki closed all passenger checkpoints. The fence covers only 200 of the 1,300 kilometers of the shared border. Authorities paid approximately €3 million in compensation to landowners whose lawsuits were dismissed by the court. The barrier has become a symbol of estrangement, though officially it is a security measure. The main news of Russia and the world is here.
