Prime Minister Petteri Orpo said today that Finland is ready to close its last border crossing with Russia if Moscow keeps pushing migrants across. The Raja-Jooseppi border station in Lapland, northern Finland, on November 27 2023'Finland is protecting the European Union's external border and NATO's border. Finland has seen a surge in asylum seekers entering without a visa across its 1,300-kilometre (800-mile) border with Russia.
