Scott Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 VAALIMAA, Finland, Sept 22 (Reuters) - Finland said on Thursday it was considering barring most Russians from entering the country as traffic across the border from its eastern neighbour "intensified" following President Vladimir Putin's order for a partial military mobilisation. Finnish land border crossings have remained among the few entry points into Europe for Russians after a string of Western countries shut both physical frontiers and their air space to Russian planes in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Prime Minister Sanna Marin said on Thursday the government was assessing risks posed by individuals travelling through Finland, and was considering ways to sharply reduce Russian transit. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/finlands-border-guard-says-traffic-border-with-russia-increasing-2022-09-22/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post SunnyinBangrak Posted September 23, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 23, 2022 But surely these Russian citizens fleeing war are the real McCoy. Proper refugees. Genuinely fleeing for their lives to a safe country that should be warmly welcoming them, not turning them back to possibly their deaths. Feeling quite disgusted with Finland today, I thought they were a progressive and welcoming country to those in dire situations? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evading Military service is not grounds for refugee status. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
