TL;DR Summary

Finland has decided to reseal its entire eastern border with Russia after temporarily reopening two crossing points, as an influx of migrants without proper documentation or visas arrived.

Finland had previously closed the border for two weeks in November, citing concerns of Russia using migrants to destabilize the country.
