Russia Mocks Finland’s Border Fence as Tensions Rise Over Security
Russia has criticised Finland’s plans to build a fence along their shared border. Maria Zakharova, the Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, responded sharply to reports about the project. Her comments included a sarcastic suggestion about additional border facilities. The dispute began after Finnish media reported that the fence would be constructed just one metre from the Russian border. Zakharova questioned the move and mocked the idea in her official statement. The exchange highlights rising tensions over border security between the two countries. Finland’s fence project remains under development, with Orpo’s administration leading the planning. Russia’s response suggests the issue will remain a point of contention.
