The Finnish Government is worried about hybrid attack from Russia and the Aggressive Land grabbing attitude of Russia :

Finland's government plans to amend border legislation to allow the building of barriers on its eastern frontier with Russia, it said on Thursday, in a move to strengthen preparedness against hybrid threats amid Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Finland, which is currently applying for membership in the Western military alliance NATO, has a history of wars with Russia, although currently the forest-covered border zone between the two countries is marked merely with signs and plastic lines for most of its 1,300-km (810-mile) length.

The Finnish government has rushed to strengthen border security as it fears Russia could attempt to put pressure on Finland by sending asylum seekers to its borders - as the European Union accused Belarus of doing at the end of last year when hundreds of migrants from the Middle East, Afghanistan and Africa got stuck on the Polish border.

The government's amendments to the law include a proposal to enable concentrating the reception of asylum applications only at specific points of entry.

Under existing EU rules, migrants have the right to ask for asylum at any given entry point to an EU member country.

The amendments would also allow the building of barriers such as fences, as well as new roads to facilitate border patrolling on the Finnish side.

"Later on, the government will decide on border barriers to the critical zones on the eastern border, on the basis of the Finnish Border Guard's assessment," minister of internal affairs Krista Mikkonen said in a statement.

This News is coming from Helsinki the same day Vladimir Putin likened self to Peter the Great. The Russian Emperor that founded St Petersburg.

The Russian president draws parallels between Peter the Great’s founding of St Petersburg and modern-day Russia’s ambitions.

Putin also stated that "It is our responsibility also to take back and strengthen,” in an apparent reference to Russia’s offensive in Ukraine.

Putin appeared to leave the door open for further territorial expansion, while asserting Russia’s sovereignty.

Did they remember the Maginot Line? Russian troops can go through Norway or attack by sea or shell every part of Finland with long range missiles, flatten enemy lines before sending in thousands of paratroopers.

The Maginot Line, an array of defenses that France built along its border with Germany in the 1930s, was designed to prevent an invasion. Built at a cost that possibly exceeded $9 billion in today’s dollars, the 280-mile-long line included dozens of fortresses, underground bunkers, minefields, and gun batteries.

The Maginot Line was fortified with reinforced concrete and 55 million tons of steel embedded deep into the earth. It was designed to withstand heavy artillery fire, poison gas and whatever else the Germans could throw up against it.

“The Maginot Line was a technological marvel, far and away the most sophisticated and complex set of fortifications built up to that time,” as William Allcorn wrote in his 2003 book The Maginot Line 1928–45.

Nevertheless, after World War II erupted, the fortified border that was supposed to serve as France’s salvation instead became a symbol of a failed strategy. Leaders had focused upon countering the tactics and technology of past wars, and failed to prepare for the new threat from fast-moving armored vehicles. Instead of being stymied by the Maginot Line, Hitler’s forces went around it, driving their tanks through a wilderness area in neighboring Belgium that the French wrongly assumed would be impenetrable.



Barrier Designed to Counter Future German Attack
The French decision to build the Maginot Line was partly the result of centuries of invasions along its border with Germany, where France had few natural barriers to prevent armies from entering its territory. After World War I, in which France had fought a bloody, desperate struggle for survival that cost the lives of nearly 1.4 million soldiers, military leaders began to debate about how best to counter Germany in a future war that they saw as inevitable, according to the 2011 book The Maginot Line: History and Guide, by J.E. Kaufmann, H.W. Kaufmann, Aleksander Jankovic-Potocnik and Patrice Lang.

Marshal Joseph Joffre, a hero from the 1914 Battle of the Marne, argued that the best approach was to build a few heavy fortifications inside France to protect key areas against invaders, while allowing the French army room to maneuver and thwart an attack. In contrast, Marshal Henri-Philippe Petain, who had led the French to victory at Verdun in 1916, favored a continuous line of lighter fortifications.

Ultimately, the Maginot Line’s designers mixed the two concepts together, and came up with a plan for a single continuous line, which featured imposing fortresses with other defenses between them.

Okay

Barriers don't stop missiles and nukes

Good

The Finnish Government is worried about hybrid attack from Russia and the Aggressive Land grabbing attitude of Russia :

LOL.

See the way Finland reduced Russia to ajagun gbale- similitude of those bad guys in Lagos.

Ok

The west have succeeded in making neighboring countries to be enemies.

PEACE is all we want in our world.

Good for them.

The result of having a mad dictator across the border.

Yeah, we saw that with Ukraine. Except Ukraine is still standing.

Dude, we are no longer in the 1930s. France even though the biggest military in that era fell in 6weeks.

Ukraine, the poorest country in 2022 Europe hasn't fallen in over 3 months. Russia is overrated.

.

Peace cost nothing. The US have succeeded in instilling fears on Finnish people, and now they want to waste Billions of Euros to build some kind of barrier along their over 1200km border with Russia. Meanwhile, a missle can fly over it and blow up Finland it Russia truly want to attack it.

Russia don chop shit

And Finland (an EU country) would retaliate by sending missiles to Russia.
No one has monopoly of violence.

Would the fence stop a missile? France built a border between it and Germany before ww2. Israel did the same thing between it with Egypt in the late 20th century. Both still got attacked anyway. Instead of living in fear Americans should be the ones living in, make peace with Russia. Russia has only ever invaded two countries: Georgia and Ukraine, and it's over the same issue, NATO. You don't expect to rear tigers near a kindergarten and expect the parents of the kindergarteners not to fight you.

No try am ooh_Wr unah want mk i cum pass go russian

Bwahah, if Russia wants to deal with u, I assure Finland, that fence would be totally useless & a waste of money, unless of course it's like 50km long both above & below, made of bomb resistant material that comes with a missles shields

Finland should just come clean & say they don't want middle Eastern & black refugees in their country, no need to use Russia to camouflage

Let the Russians pay for it..

Gfhf

I think the essence of the wall is rather symbolic than anything physical. Am sure the know the capability of Russian military. Besides the said wall is made of just poles with infrared sensors. So they are not all physical structures.
Finland is one of the few countries that fought Russia to a stalemate. They know what they are doing and ain't scared of the Russ
