Facing asylum seeker surge from Russia, Finland mulls curbing access
HELSINKI (Reuters) -Further groups of asylum seekers arrived on Wednesday at Finland's southeastern border via Russia, part of a sudden surge that the president said appeared to be Russian revenge for his country's defence cooperation with the United States. Finland, a European Union country whose accession to the NATO alliance earlier this year after decades of non-alignment angered Moscow, shares a 1,340-km (833-mile) border with Russia that also serves as the EU's external border.
