Prime Minister Orpo: Finland cannot open borders with Russia. “As far as we understand, there are people behind the eastern border whose goal is to come to Finland illegally,” Orpo said.
On February 1, the Finnish Foreign Ministry announced the abolition of the Russian department, but three regional departments will be created: Euro-Atlantic, Asia and Oceania. Russia will move to the Asia and oceania department, while Finland will keep the Euro- Atlantic department.
