More than 500 asylum seekers, mostly from Yemen, Somalia, Syria and Iraq, have arrived in Finland &#8211; an eastern outpost of the European Union &#8211; via Russia in a sudden surge over the past two weeks, prompting Helsinki to shut half its border crossings and accuse Moscow of funnelling migrants to its border. Moscow denies the charge.<\/p>\n<p>As Helsinki considers closing the entire border, the migrants have been arriving from Russia bundled into cars and trucks and then dropped off and handed bicycles near the Finnish border for the final stretch, the head of the Finnish Border Guard&#8217;s legal division, Tomi Kivenjuuri, said. &#8220;It is very likely that the Russian authorities are heavily involved in the transport operation. Very probably the border guards are involved on their side,&#8221; he told Reuters.<\/p>\n<p>Finland and Russia have jointly banned crossing the border by foot. Last week, Finland&#8217;s Border Guard unilaterally banned bicycles but Russia continues to allow migrants to cross by bike. Only two remotely located northern border crossings in Vartius and Salla continue to receive asylum applications from migrants after Finland closed four border stations and erected barriers to prevent illegal crossings.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov denied Finland&#8217;s accusation that Russia was deliberately pushing illegal migrants towards the border and said Russian border guards were carrying out their duties in line with the rules.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/europe\/finland-says-russian-guards-likely-heavily-involved-migrant-surge-border-2023-11-21\/\">Reuters<\/a> <\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/finland-says-russian-guards-likely-heavily-involved-in-migrant-surge-at-border\/\">Finland says Russian guards likely \u2018heavily involved\u2019 in migrant surge at border<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[1316,555,586,1330,12345],"class_list":["post-118875","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-border","tag-csr-news-en","tag-finland","tag-migrant","tag-russin-guard"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118875","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=118875"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118875\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=118875"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=118875"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=118875"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
