"Finland's Presidential Election Amid Rising Border Tensions and Hybrid Operation Claims"

Finland's presidential election sees a tight race between leading candidates Alex Stubb and Pekka Haavisto, with far-right candidate Jussi Halla-aho making progress in recent polls. Allegations of a 'hybrid influence operation' have surfaced, with some supporters claiming bias against Halla-aho, while candidates condemn the allegations and emphasize the fairness of the election. Voting begins with a high turnout expected, and the top two contenders are likely to head to a second-round vote in February.
