Finlanda a ridicat un gard de 200 km la granița cu Rusia. Cum va proteja frontiera NATO? • Newsweek România

Finland has completed a 200 km security fence along its border with Russia to enhance NATO's longest frontier. This project was initiated following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, prompting Finland to join NATO in April 2023. The fence, equipped with cameras and sensors, aims to prevent unauthorized crossings and is primarily located in the southeast. The total cost of the fence is 356 million euros, with annual maintenance estimated at 2-3 million euros. Finland's Interior Minister emphasized the need for EU funding to support border security projects and proposed extending the Border Security Law until 2028, despite concerns over potential human rights violations. Similar barriers are being constructed by other NATO and EU countries along their eastern borders.
