"Finland's Stringent Border Measures Amidst Russia Tensions"

Finland has closed all but one of its passenger crossings with Russia due to a surge in migrants entering the country. Finland accuses Russia of funneling migrants to the border, a charge that Russia denies. The closed crossings will remain shut for a month, while the remaining crossing will continue to accept asylum applications during its opening hours. The Finnish Border Guard is increasing patrols along the border and will receive additional resources from the EU's border agency, Frontex.
