Finland Keeps Russian Border Closed: What’s Really Going On?

#BorderClosure
On April 16th, the Finnish government announced the indefinite closure of its eastern border with Russia, a measure initially implemented in late 2023. This decisive action responds to increased migrant arrivals from Syria and Somalia, with Finnish officials accusing Moscow of orchestrating migration flows — a claim the Kremlin denies. As Finland adjusts to its recent NATO membership, concerns over instrumentalised migration loom large. The government has enacted an exceptional emergency law to reject asylum applications at this border, reviewed regularly for national security. While the pushback law faces criticism for potential human rights violations, officials defend its success in curbing migration since November 2023.
