Finnish and Russian border authorized representatives met regularly on the basis of joint plans. This was announced on Friday, November 24, by the Finnish Border Guard Service.
The department clarified that during such meetings issues were discussed that would stabilize the situation with illegal migrants.
However, they said in Helsinki, it was not possible to reach a compromise, since “Russia’s position is that its own legislation does not allow it to prevent third-country citizens from crossing the Finnish border.”
Earlier, the Ambassador of Finland in Moscow, Antti Helanterä, visited the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs to officially inform the department on the closure of a number of border crossings between countries. The only functioning border checkpoint on the border between Russia and Finland remains the polar Raya-Josepi in the Murmansk region.
Meanwhile, the governor of the Murmansk region, Andrei Chibis, said that about 200 foreigners who gathered at the Finnish border in the Arctic were unable to leave Russia for Finland, so they had to go to St. Petersburg. Moreover, all documents necessary for staying in the Russian Federation are these people have.
