"Finland Implements Full Border Closure with Russia Amid Migrant Worries"

TL;DR Summary
Finland has announced the closure of its entire border with Russia, citing concerns that Moscow is using migrants as part of "hybrid warfare" to destabilize the country following its entry into NATO. Finland had already closed seven of the eight checkpoints on its border with Russia due to a surge in arrivals of migrants from the Middle East and Africa. The Finnish government accuses Russia of orchestrating the influx of migrants and aims to protect national security. The closure is expected to last for at least two weeks, with the possibility of reopening one crossing point.
