- In the autumn, the Finnish government closed all eight crossing points it shares with Russia, along a border of almost 1,400 kilometres. They will remain closed until at least mid-April.

Finland is a sovereign state and can do what it deems appropriate
US vassal states are not sovereign. Period.
Exactly! Greetings from Latvia 🇱🇻
Then why are they following orders deepstate, to their own detriment? ))
Well done Finland 🇫🇮 👌😇
Why those so called "Asylum seekers" cannot stay in Russia? They are safe in Russia.
Well, as it happens, Russia forces these people to join their army
@@duhni4551They are not genuine asylum seekers from Russia, they are politically weaponized migrants from the middle east and Africa, calculated to become a divisive social problem in the making if they are allowed in. What we are seeing is a hybrid warfare operation against Finland. Sane people have always known this, the left may pretend otherwise.
@@duhni4551 Tough luck :(
The reason is very simple they will be sent to fight to what they call special military operation which the Finnish YLE/Rundadion calls it Russian invasion of Ukraine alongside their equivalents from CBC🇨🇦 BBC/Sky News🇬🇧 CNN/MSNBC 🇺🇲 ABC/SBS🇦🇺
Walmart can't do sell offs 24/7 forever, they'll go out of business
Protesting in Finland he should go protesting in Moscow 😂
Respect for Finland from a free Iranian 🟢⚪️🔴❤️🇫🇮
I am 100 % behind Finland on this. Welcome to NATO. Regards from Denmark
Thanks. Greetings from Finland
Same same from Germany, herzlich willkommen 🙏🏻
This video seems supportive of Russia??? Surely it should be condemning Russia for encouraging illegal entry into the EU??
Russia is safe country so Finland don't have to take any of them..!!
absolutely agree - finnland need qualified people, not random arabs who then form street gangs because that about sums up their skills.
@@zoolkhanRussia wants to force as many of such problem immigrants into Europe as possible. The political far-left seems to be tail between their legs when confronted about this issue, as our common enemy, Russia, is actually using their preferred asylum policy as an explicit weapon against our country and the west in general. Let us keep the borders closed indefinitely.
I agree . 🇷🇺 is a murderous dictatorship. Finland lives next to the beast and must protect itself
Exactly, and Russia has jobs for them at the front.
@@KPsTboy To form street gangs at target countries?
Well done Finland!
3000$ US to get smuggled? What is a one way airplane ticket from Marrakesh to Helsinki?
The visa would never be accepted, you think people are risking their lives for no reason?
Finland❤
The journalist's question about the protests of Russian dual citizens being some kind of problem indicates that the journalist doesn't quite understand the situation and focuses on issues other than the main ones. Russian dual citizens are freely allowed to protest in Finland and request free movement, contrary to Russia, where they would like to go as cheaply as possible. Unfortunately, free movement across the border would currently cause serious problems for Finland due to actions by Russian authorities. It is easy to get to Russia via other routes if one wishes. It is not a human right to take the shortest possible route to visit relatives. The right question should be, why don't Russian citizens living in Finland loudly say that Russia's attack is condemnable. The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
The Russian immigrants in Finland do not seem to appreciate that they were taken in and constitute a 5th column inside the country. Surely makes other countries think twice about taking in Russian immigrants.
Funny fact , if they would learn Finnish/Swedish they could come and study for free in Finland, possibly even get free accommodation (although accommodation depends on the school) but still, it’s not that difficult . Then they could work and live legally in Finland forever if they want , as graduates.
Ps: Young men from Morocco have money to dress nicely, to pay few thousands for the travel and to throw few extra thousands to smuggle themselves inn, but for some reasons don’t have initiative to do it legal way 😬
Not in Finland Sweden and its not completely free but in Germany they can
@@diviyampathak1995 yes they(you) can ! As long as you study in one of our national languages ( im a Finnish citizen) Finnish/Swedish , so government covers the tuition for you. It doesn’t matter from whatever country you’re coming from,may it be India , France , or Finland itself.
Studies in English are now only being covered(“free”) for permanent residents of Finland or any EEA + Switzerland citizens.
And yes ,graduates can legally stay in Finland to look for a job , and yes they can work and live in Finland very much legally for the rest of their lives if they choose to do so.
Not sure sure about Sweden so much , but we have been discussing Finland here anyways .
Their visa would never get accepted.
Protesting EU NGOs could work in the countries of origin of migrants if they really want to help the migrants.
Agreed, ngo's should shut up and help at the sources of missery
Finland is not responsible for putins action. Well done Finland.👍👍👍
Can I choose any country in the World, move there and live there for free for the rest of my life with no questions asked? If not, then why only some countries are required to accept everyone without any documents or anything.
I suggest everyone looks up what the "international treaties" about asylum actually say. They only cover personal persecution. You have people who have lived years in Russia and now suddenly they're persecuted. Well if they're persecuted by Russians, then it's a problem between Russia and their native country. If they're persecuted by someone in their native country, then they're already safe in Russia.
If they claim to be persecuted (personally) in both countries, then maybe they need to look in the mirror and find the problem staring back at them.
Exactly? Well said!
As an American, how nice only 50 illegal crossings per month sound. Keep your borders secure Finland. I'm sure your neighbors to the west can tell you all about what unchecked immigration does to a country.
Ok as long as I also get a right to move to whichever country I want without any papers.
Not only to Africa. What was I thinling
Seeking asylum is NOT a human right. NGO's are badly mistaken. Asylum policy is set by individual nation-states, and is conditional, not absolute.
Nothing wrong with a solid border. Good borders make good neighbors, but what if you DO have the right paperwork? Then you can still not pass? Nabil: You came from Morocco? Then what's the issue? You can't live in Morocco?
Depends what you say is "the right paperwork". Genuine Finland passport from Finland government for example is the right paperwork, providing other paperwork and the legal conditions are met also.
@@bardsamok9221Precisely
Cold keeps people of the forest in the winter but soon the spring comes and then border forest will be full a people.
Finland is definitely doing the right thing to close the border. No one wants to play Russia's games. Putin is a pest and hopefully as Russian citizens wake up and realize that several hundred thousand Russian men have already died or been seriously wounded in the invasion of Ukraine, maybe they will finally rise up and rid themselves of this dictator. We here in America are very happy to have Finland and now in the next couple of weeks, Sweden, as new members to NATO!
At this point i think all counties that border Russia should close the crossings.
Russia uses the poor immigrants to bring into Russia and send to front line because they're running out of home grown cannon fodder.
NGOs need to be investigated for connections with UNRWA.
Watching from AUSTRALIA
What I got out of this is that everyone in Finland really does sound like the hydraulic press guy
Isn't the whole point of seeking asylum in the 1st safe country you arrive in? Getting to another country illegally means you're no longer an "asylum seeker" but an illegal economic migrant.
Walls keep out unwanted people 😒 walls work..
It's Finland right to close their borders, so it's their human rights to walk into finland, and demand social housing, benefits and to bring their family to live on state benefit, what about Finland human rights, to protect their economy and country.
Problem is that everyone thinks that there case is more important than anyone else’s case.
Is it putin dint broken human wrigth valuations ?
Huh?
Oh, he does that.... in Ukraine. I do not recommend these migrants to go to Ukraine.
Greetings from Poland ❤
Go Finland 💙
I would really like to see the thumbs down numbers on this video...
551/13
They dont mind ripping off the asylum seekers - $300 for a bicycle
menos mal que vivo en Argentina, no tenemos ese problema...
Finland closed border after 1000 migrants from Africa say this story to Italy GB or Germany
Other coutries can close their borders too. They decide it individually if they want to do it or not.
I can just see these “asylum seekers” over in Siberia when it gets to minus 70 Fahrenheit.
Peace peace brothers and sisters. Don’t make war out of thin air.
It is one thing to say or believe that all people have the right to asylum, it is another to have the funds and resources to be able to adequately provide that service. Overall the nordic countries are relatively small and lack the human resources available to provide good and proper services to those seeking asylum. In the absence of being able to provide those proper resources, many of the immigrants slip through the cracks and long term they, and their descendants, can become an even bigger problem on society and demand even more resources. This has happened in many of the countries where in the years after large waves of migration, crime rates go up. I know there are many who scream that is a racist claim, but the data in some of these countries back that up. There was a study done in Copenhagen about six or seven years ago that compared the crime rates and demographics of the defendants in criminal trials in Copenhagen from the year before the last major EU expansion in 2004, and 2016. There was a 400% increase in arrests made, and over 80% of the defendants in the criminal trials were immigrants from countries that were outside of the EU, or from countries added in 2004. It is not reasonable to expect any society to accept that. There needs to be a reconciliation between the idealist mindset that all people should be welcome, and the realism that the resources to do that are just not there.
Have so humanity ffs! What is this world!
Welcoming refugees as opposed to economic migrants is fine.
So long as in doing so, you don't lose your own country's identity and culture.
Many immigrants don't make an effort to integrate and repatriate as much money as possible to support families in their country of origin. So businesses in the country of asylum miss out on that spend.
People in dysfunctional countries need to elect responsible public servants instead of relying on the developed world to prop up failed regimes. All this does is reward failure and remove the consequences that go along with failure.
This Spanish guys arguments would carry more weight if the Spanish government wasn't continually infringing the rights of Gibraltar residents, while still maintaining Spain's own colonies in Africa! Two faced, much?
Why can’t US do the same on their border with Mexico? Trump has been talking about it for many years. Not a few hundred - thousands of migrants are trafficked to the US.
Who would you believe? Russia or Finland?
Finland.
Ha haaaa this Hungermanian from Hungermanstan is hungry🤣🤣🤣
I am from Russia. One year in Finnish prison, if I am against the war and think putin is a murder and a dictator. I guess for those who are in danger one year prison for illegal bordcrossing is more than welcome in terms of price. If you're on the run from dictator and murder who can put you in the jail for free speech for years and even for a decade, you think someone would be thinking about where to cross the border? Or I do whatever it takes to get myself and the family out of this GULAG machine?
thing is that those who tried to come from Russia were not even Russians, they were from all over the world, so Russia is just making money by human trafficking people, it has nothing to do with preventing human rights it is about preventing human trafficking
@@freezedeve3119 I well aware of this. Criminal putin uses immigrants as a leverage to weaken Europe and to destabilize it.
Your people are brainwashed, you need to fight the regime or you will be doomed forever.
If you were from Russia you would know that there is no Gulag anymore. What's the point in commenting this bs. Did you invented a time machine or what?
@@user-tp6kr4fw2k putin recreated GULAG one of political victim who's killed by criminal putin in Gulag was Navalny. I was not pro Navalny, but everyone realize in the world that putin is a murder because "too much coincidence" doesn't fit his regime.
Spanish?
The US is in a miss with all those people crossing over from Mexico. All Bidens fault with the help of the Democrat party. FJB. Do what you got todo Finland.
Why does Finland not want to become an African or middle eastern nation? Why the racism?
Finally people are beginning to see the importance of these identity questions for any society. What it took for even mainstream liberals to take matter seriously was the matter becoming weaponized by an unfriendly neighboring country, making it unarguably a national security problem.
So called far right has of course always warned the rest of the political spectrum about the dangers of unchecked mass migration, but their objections have been attempted to silence by left-green political crowd and opportunists riding along with their bandwagon, by calling the objectors racists.
Even the evidently bad outcome of mass immigration in Sweden has not been enough to change the ideological outlook, but novadays the perception has turned somewhat on its head even on the left so much that there is a real risk of losing political credibility if nothing is done to prevent the Russian organized migratory flow. It is quite difficult to maintain belief in social advantageousness of policy that is deliberately used as a weaponized loophole by a cynical state actor trying to ruin ones society by means short of war.
What it took was an external enemy doing this to finally convince mainstream politicians that mass migration is in fact a liability.
You clearly aren't aware of what mass migration does to the local taxpayers. It's so lazy to scream racism instead of using common sense. Once you give these "asylum seekers" free stuff, they then start blaming the local white Finns for all their problems. Brown people only respect the whites when taking something from them, and quickly trash talk them instead of showing gratitude. These guys are not going to assimilate, they are going to disrupt.
Russia should give Murmanskaya and Russian Karelia to Finland.
This is lame.

THEY CLOSING THEMSELVES IN , WHAT WORLD FULL UP LUNATICS.
If they are so scared and nervous about Russia why don't they just build a concrete wall?
electric fence, barbed wire.. fencing and surveillance.. it will bring more work and Finland has something to do to not feel so nervous and scared... anxiety can settle on the psyche and many can start to feel bad... so it's just as well to close the entire border properly as well border crossings.. two thick walls should be enough.. like the Berlin Wall.
You just don't get it?
Read Finland's history!
1300 km long concrete wall?
We don't fear Russia but we don't need any people who want free life of our tax money.
We are building it
because of NATO, Finland is no more the happiest country on Earth
It is and for instance Denmark is the second happiest country and it has been in Nato much longer than Finland.
Oh yeah Oi ja voi! We still are!😁😇😳
Still Happiest..But a Country With Rules..And it Goes..Dont FCK with US..:)
The only saddening thing in NATO currently is Hungary if you ask me. Russia has always been a cause of trouble but such external enemies are easy to deal with. Treachery within NATO is less so.
Russia is a 🤡 show of a country. The Finns don't deserve the stench coming from their eastern neighbors.
It is a positive measure to protect all Finnish inhabitants,for its neighbor Russia can and never be trusted,in communism all means regardless whether legal or not are initiated or used,there is the need for Finland to be prepared and resilient against putin.When l will retire l will try to apply for a tourist visa with the dream to stay,see the real Finland even even for a 10 day period only if
Every country have the right to decide who the allowed to enter the country, why to the not go to Belarus or stay in Russia
