Finland Builds Fence Against Russian Tactics | Wilmington News
Description
Finland just finished building a 200-kilometer border fence with Russia — not just for keeping people out, but as a critical security measure after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. With the longest land border of any NATO or EU country, Finland shut its entire land border in 2023 and now faces over 1,300 visaless migrants at its gates. Officials believe Russia is weaponizing migration as “hybrid warfare,” pushing people toward Finland to destabilize its stability. Joining NATO last year only intensified these fears. Moscow called the fence “Russophobic” and accused Finland of damaging decades of relations — but Helsinki says it’s defending itself against a long-term threat to Europe’s security.
