From Border Fences to the Return of the ‘Iron Curtain’: Norway, Finland and Estonia to Restrict or Close Border With Russia Over Uncontrolled Migration
The NATO expansion eastwards is one of the most dangerous developments of the last decades in Europe, up to the point where it now borders Russia, with the introduction of Finland in the defense alliance.
This is sure to cause geopolitical tensions of a grave nature – and it has already started.
Finland and two other European countries have restricted or are looking to tighten their borders with Russia, in a move reminiscent of the days of the ‘cold war’.
Finland, Norway and Estonia accuse Moscow of ‘weaponizing’ asylum seekers, mostly from countries including Iraq, Yemen and Somalia, sending them to the frontier without proper documents.
The Kremlin may be seeking to test Helsinki’s resolve after it joined NATO.
