Opposition representative Kai Mykkänen called on the Finnish coalition party to build a fence on the border with Russia. According to him, they would not allow migrants to cross it outside the checkpoint.
According to the public station Yle, construction experts described the idea as “ridiculous and impracticable”. And all because of the lack of necessary infrastructure at the borders, including roads.
In particular, Mikko Lehmus, Head of the Finnish Border Service's Risk Assessment Center, pointed out that there were no legal obstacles. construction of barriers. However, this would be extremely difficult and would not protect against illegal migrants as needed.
It has previously been known that temporary barriers have begun to be built on the border between Estonia and Russia. The members of the defense forces are doing this together with the police and the border guard department of the Baltic Republic.
Work began in Narva, north-eastern Estonia, on the Kuivaygi riverbed. They also go southeast in the village of Meremäe and on the river Piusa.
We are talking about a 130-kilometer barrier wire. It is designed to prevent the allegedly existing hybrid threat from Russia. The decision to install it was made against the background of the migration crisis on the Polish-Belarusian border.
