Finnish fence on Russian border to cost hundreds of millions of euros

[Social Media]

The cost of constructing a fence in Finland at the Russian border is estimated to run into hundreds of millions of euros and could take around three to four years to be finished.

 

The work is continuing with Finland's membership of NATO now imminent.

It's set to be the longest European border stretch between the security alliance and The Russian Federation.

 

Between 130 and 260 kilometres of partial fencing are to be built along the frontline that's more than 1,300 kilometres long.

Hire Trump as an advisor. He'll get Putin to pay for it.

Fences, like door locks, will not keep out those determined to break in.????

I suspect the fence is simply to assert an undisputed border, which is a requirement of joining NATO.

I suppose the Ruskies could just skirt around the edge then.

Did they not consult all those that claim border wall/ fences don't work, before spending large on it?
