Russian military activity along the Finnish border is intensifying at an alarming rate. On April 15, 2025, Finnish Lt. Gen. Vesa Virtanen revealed that Russia is rapidly expanding its border infrastructure and preparing to deploy more troops once forces can be withdrawn from Ukraine. These developments follow years of hybrid attacks, including cyber warfare, GPS jamming, and mass migration tactics aimed at destabilizing Finland.
In response, Finland is accelerating defense efforts—completing major portions of a new border wall ahead of schedule and pledging to boost military spending to 3% of GDP by 2029. The country has exited the Ottawa Convention, indicating possible landmine deployment, and passed laws to block asylum seekers at the Russian border. These moves, combined with a $691 million military aid package for Ukraine and a growing NATO role, show Finland’s determination to resist any Russian pressure or aggression.
