Finland has closed all but one of its passenger crossings with Russia in response to an unusually high number of migrants entering the country. Over 700 migrants from countries such as Yemen, Afghanistan, Kenya, Morocco, Pakistan, Somalia, and Syria have entered Finland via Russia in the past few weeks. Finland accuses Russia of funneling migrants to the border, a charge that the Kremlin denies. Last week, Finland closed four border stations, and now, all remaining passenger crossings, except for the northernmost one, Raja-Jooseppi, have been closed for a month. The Finnish Border Guard has increased patrols along the 1,340-kilometer frontier with Russia and will receive additional resources from the European Union's border agency Frontex to strengthen control activities. Frontex plans to deploy 50 border guards and other staff to Finland, along with patrol cars and equipment. Finland's Prime Minister Petteri Orpo stated that Russia started this influx of migrants and called for Russia to stop it. Despite the closure of most border crossings, Finland expects an influx of migrants in the coming weeks.
