00:02Finland has completed a 200-kilometer security fence along its border with Russia.
00:08The project was launched after Helsinki accused Moscow of hybrid warfare
00:12by orchestrating the movement of third country nationals towards the frontier, a charge the Kremlin denied.
00:19Authorities' risk assessment, that risk is still high, that if we open the border crossing point,
00:27the instrumentalist migration will start again.
00:32More than 1,300 migrants without visas arrived at Finland's eastern border in 2023,
00:38leading Finland to shut its land border with Russia later that year.
00:42Apart from a brief reopening of two crossings that December, the frontier has remained closed ever since.
00:48Since we closed the borders, as I mentioned, the situation has been pretty calm.
00:54And we haven't faced not so very many illegal border crossings at the moment.
01:01The 4.5-meter high fence has been built in sections and is equipped with cameras and sensors.
01:07The 4.5-meter space is in a place...
01:08The 4.5-meter space is in the world where you walk under and there are places where you walk
01:09under.
01:10The 5.5-meter low-meter space is on the ground,
01:12center space is on the ground.
