Letting too many Russians in, Russia often uses that as an excuse to invade and annex
russians who want to be free of the terrorist putler regime need to stay there, organize and remove that worthless scumbag and his orc oligarchs
Yea just go ahead and remove a violent oppressive regime that has a history of murdering and imprisoning even its non-violent opponents and has hundreds of thousands to millions people in police and military on their disposal to defend it. Great fucking plan.
Who else is supposed to do it? No country can actually invade Russia, they may be a paper tiger but they still got nukes.
All it would take is 1% of russians to decide enough is enough. 1 measly percent.
More Than 800 immigrants...poor finnish... Well, they start to get a taste of what feels like to host more Than 10000 a month in Italy....
Yeah the number if immigrants is very little even by our standards, but our right wing government is doing all it can to stoke fears of a Russian hybrid operation, just so that they get an excuse to shut down the border. Ironically, that's exactly what Russia wants them to do because such disregard for human rights naturally inflames internal political tensions here.
There would be significantly less drama if we just took them in with due processing, but now that the racist nationalists party is in government with a spineless sack of shit as the PM, they're not going to do that.
You should always do a per Capita calculation with change in percent per month to see why 800 may be alarming.
Not to dismiss the Italian situation, I just don't think that Finland needs to regard other nations problems with illegal immigrants before they decide what to do with their external border
Those are rookie numbers.
Y'all should get more so you can get a taste of what it feels like to host more than 25k, here in Turkey.
According to some (right wing) outlets, Russia would be shoving immigrants into busses, shipping them towards the border, then giving them bicycles to go the rest of the way.
Apparently people consuming such sources, don't realize that bus service is a normal thing in some countries, bicycles are more affordable than cars, many busses will carry them for you, and regular bus lines have more than enough capacity for over 200 people to travel every week.

HELSINKI, Nov 24 (Reuters) - Russia must stop sending asylum seekers across its frontier into Finland in what amounts to a "hybrid attack", Finnish Prime Minister Petteri Orpo said on Friday, after the Nordic nation temporarily shut all border passenger crossings bar one.
More than 800 migrants from nations including Afghanistan, Kenya, Morocco, Pakistan, Somalia, Syria and Yemen have entered Finland via Russia in recent weeks, an increase from less than one per day previously, according to the Finnish Border Guard.
Finland infuriated Russia earlier this year when it joined NATO, ending decades of military non-alignment, due to the war in Ukraine.
Having shut four border stations last week, Finland closed three more overnight for a month, leaving open only its northernmost one, Raja-Jooseppi, located in the Arctic region.
The government also decided at an extraordinary session on Friday that people arriving from Russia without the required travel documents must stay in supervised centres until their identities have been established.
Norway has experienced "no irregularities" so far on its border with Russia, which runs to the north of Finland's, Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere said on Friday during a visit to the Estonian capital Tallinn.
