Russia closes key border crossings with the European Union

Russia has closed part of its border with the European Union. With a decree signed by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, the Russian government has indefinitely suspended the movement of people, vehicles, goods and commercial shipments at seven key border points with Finland, Estonia and Latvia.

 The decision was announced in Moscow on Tuesday evening and came into effect today. It includes the Leningrad region, two border crossings in Karelia, the crossings between St. Petersburg and Finland, the Pskov region, as well as the border between Russia and Latvia. The closed points are among the most important railway transport hubs between Russia and the European Union.

The decree does not provide any reason for this measure. The document consists only of an administrative decision to close the border crossings, without explaining what dictated this move.

However, the decision comes at a time when relations between Russia and the European Union continue to be tense due to the war in Ukraine.

 
One possibility is that the Kremlin is testing a broader border blockade in the future. Such a measure could be used to restrict the departure of Russian citizens abroad in the event of a new partial military mobilization, as the war in Ukraine continues and Russian military losses remain high.

 
Another scenario is related to economic pressure. Significant quantities of Russian chemical fertilizers, which are not included in Western sanctions, pass through the border points with Finland. Banning this transit could create difficulties for the agricultural sector in some European countries, increasing economic pressure on countries bordering Russia.

The consequences cannot be limited to the European Union. The closure of these corridors also affects trade routes to the Baltic ports, which are used by Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan for their exports to the European market via the Russian railway network.

If these routes remain blocked, Moscow could increase its economic influence over these two former Soviet republics, forcing them to negotiate according to the conditions set by the Kremlin. All this is related to the strategy that Russia continues to justify in the context of what it calls the “Special Military Operation” in Ukraine… ( Corriere della Sera )
