TL;DR Summary

Finland has decided to close three of its four remaining border crossings with Russia, citing suspicions that Moscow is orchestrating a migration crisis. The Finnish government has accused Russia of encouraging the influx of migrants at the border as a form of punishment for Finland joining NATO. The Kremlin has expressed regret over the decision and denied the allegations. Finland has seen a significant increase in undocumented migrants arriving from the Middle East and Africa, with around 600 migrants arriving in November alone. The closure of the border crossings aims to maintain order and ensure the security of legal border traffic.
