Finland builds 200-kilometer fence on border with Russia: We don't know

Finland inaugurated a 200-kilometer fence on its border with Russia on Monday, as relations between the two countries remain tense.

The project took about four years and cost 356 million euros, according to Yle.

Annual maintenance is expected to cost another 1.5 million euros, as this is not just an ordinary fence, but a complete border security complex equipped with surveillance systems.

Finland has closed its border with Russia in December 2023, after the arrival of more than 1,300 visa-free migrants.

"Today, the situation is calm but tense and we don't really know what tomorrow holds. However, things can change very quickly, so we need to be fully prepared," said Finnish Interior Minister Marie Rantanen.

In 2023, Finland accused Russia of waging "hybrid warfare" by orchestrating the arrival of third-country nationals at its borders, accusations that the Kremlin rejected.

These events occurred a few months after Finland ended decades of military neutrality.

"This is part of our border security system and helps us with surveillance, but also allows us, if necessary, to prevent people from entering Finnish territory," Rantanen said.

Similar fences have been erected in Latvia, Lithuania and Poland along their borders with Belarus, as well as in Estonia on its border with Russia, to stop the flow of migrants.
