Finland places restrictions on entry of Russian athletes
Finland announced on November 12 plans to restrict Russian athletes from entering the country, starting November 16. The restrictions are part of broader measures limiting Russian citizens from entering Finland on Schengen visas for short-term work, a government statement revealed. Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen expressed concern, stating that Russian athletes have no place in Finland, as their presence could jeopardize the nation's international relations.
In the future, Russian citizens will only be permitted to work in Finland under Schengen visas if their jobs are deemed essential to the country's national interests, such as ensuring national security and supply.
