EU to deploy more staff on Finnish-Russian border amid asylum crisis

IndiaTimes Thursday, 23 November 2023
European Border and Coast Guard Agency Frontex will send more officers and staff to Finland next week as the Nordic nation seeks to limit asylum seekers coming via Russia. Helsinki has accused Moscow of funnelling migrants from nations such as Yemen, Afghanistan, Kenya, Morocco, Pakistan, Somalia, and Syria. Finland will close all but the northernmost crossing point on its border with Russia, leaving open only a remote Arctic route. Frontex will deploy 50 border guard officers and staff to Finland along with equipment to bolster control activities.
