The Finnish government has closed four border control points on the south-eastern border from the 17th to preventRussiaIt continues to use “releasing refugees” to enter Finland to create a hybrid threat to Finland and the EU. This policy has given rise to opposition from some people.
In view of the recent increase in the number of refugees arriving at the south-eastern border of Finland, the Finnish government has decided to close four border control stations on the south-eastern border. These four stations are Valima and Nuijama, Imatra, Neerala.
These control points are expected to remain closed for a period of three months till February 18 next year (2024).

Protested. Ignoring the needs of border residents to visit family, the government completely closed the southeastern border to allow a small number of refugees to enter Finland.
Katja Marova, one of the organizers of the protest, told the Finnish National Broadcasting Corporation that the purpose of the protest is to give hope that the Finnish government can maintain at least one control point that allows entry and exit into Finland and Russia.
He said that people had gathered to protest because of common problems. Many people were unable to see their family members living in Russia. He hoped that the Finnish government could allow border control points to be opened for people who need to cross the border so that they can enter and exit. ,
Protesters are also concerned that Finland will close all border control points in the east. He said many people have family members in Russia and have already made plans to travel there to celebrate.ChristmasThe government closed border control points in a sudden attack.
