Numbers of Russians Fleeing to Finland Increased
Publication time: Today at 07:42 Djokhar time
The number of trespassing from Russia to Finland has increased, Finnish regional daily Suomen Sanomat reported. It quoted the Finnish Border Guard as saying that in the first eight months of this year, 21 trespassers from Russia had been caught in Finland, up from 9 in the same period last year.
Most of the Russians went uncaught.
A few days ago, as reported by the Kavkaz Center, the Russians land-mined their tiny border with Norway to stop mass exodus of Russian from their rogue country.
Land mine laying is strictly forbidden by international conventions which have also signed by Russia.
