"Finland's Rollercoaster Border: Reopening and Closing with Russia Amid Migrant Crossings"
TL;DR Summary
Finland has once again closed its eastern border with Russia, just hours after reopening it, due to a surge in asylum seekers. At least 60 people arrived immediately after the border crossings were opened. Finland had previously closed the border for two weeks last month amid accusations that Russia was driving migrants to the frontier as retaliation for Finland joining NATO. The government decided to close the border again until January 14 due to the rapid increase in illegal immigration.
