The border between Finland and Russia can only be opened when there is confidence that Russia is not using immigrants or refugees as a weapon against Finland. This was stated by President Alexander Stubb . In his opinion, assurances on this matter should be obtained from the highest political leadership of Russia.

The official website of the Finnish state broadcaster Yle.fi reported that the president was asked why Estonia keeps its border open at three points and no migrants arrive there, while the Finnish border is closed.
Stubb said that during a state visit to Lithuania, he visited the border between Lithuania and Belarus, and noted that there are still problems with migrants there.
Stubb also spoke about Russia's war in Ukraine.

“The military situation for Ukraine is better now than at any time during the war. The first year of this war was a struggle for survival for Ukraine. Then three years of stability. Now it's pure mathematics,” the politician said.
According to the head of state, the loss figures speak in favor of Ukraine: for every dead Ukrainian soldier, there are eight dead Russian servicemen. On the other hand, support for the war in Russia is declining.
It was previously reported that Russia has launched a disinformation campaign to pit Ukraine against its allies in the Baltics.
