Orpo: Situation at Finland’s eastern border is unusual, further measures on the way

PRIME MINISTER Petteri Orpo (NCP) says it is clear that migrants are being systematically assisted to get to the eastern border of Finland.

“The phenomenon has intensified,” he was quoted telling journalists at the Vartius border-crossing point in Kuhmo, Eastern Finland, on Monday by Helsingin Sanomat. “I wanted to come to the border and see how we’ve prepared or the situation – as well as to give my support to border officials.”
