Finland takes the drastic decision: 260 kilometer fence on the border with

After the mass flight of Russian citizens to Finland, after Vladimir Putin's announcement of the partial mobilization of reservists, and with the aim of protecting against irregular immigration, the government of Finland has reached a unanimous agreement with all political forces to decide a fence on the most vulnerable parts of the border with Russia.

The Finnish prime minister, Sanna Marin, after the agreement between the executive and the opposition, said: "We must make sure that the border is well guarded and be able to predict what can happen there."

The works will take a maximum of four years and the fence will have a maximum length of 260 kilometers, that is between 10 and 20% of the 1,340 kilometers of the border between Finland and Russia.

The project, which will have an investment of "several hundred million euros", as explained by the Finnish government, involves the installation of a fence several meters high with barbed wire on top. In addition, there will be video surveillance cameras at the border sections considered to be of greater risk. The country's authorities anticipate that the works will start next summer.

However, this is not the first measure that Finland has taken in relation to Russia. Last September, due to the departure of Russian citizens, the first measure approved by the executive was to limit the issuance of visas to Russians. A measure that went as far as closing its borders to Russian tourists.

In just seven days after the announcement of the mobilization ordered by the Russian President, the number of people who crossed the border increased by 86%. According to the data, it is estimated that more than 50,000 Russian citizens arrived in Finland. This situation has also happened in other countries bordering Russia, such as Georgia and Mongolia. According to estimates by the Georgian Interior Ministry, more than 50,000 Russians arrived by the end of September, adding to the more than 40,000 that have arrived since the start of the offensive in Ukraine.
