> Finnish Foreign Ministry political director Petri Hakkarainen said Russia had tried to instrumentalize migrants by pushing them toward Finland’s border, prompting Helsinki to close its entire land border with Russia and complete a roughly 200-kilometer fence. Finland also adopted a temporary law allowing authorities to restrict asylum applications when a foreign actor seeks to destabilize the country.
