«Worse is yet to come»: Migration expert predicted events on the Russian-Finnish border.

The situation on the border between Finland and Russia is getting worse

According to Professor Maciej Dusik from the University of Warsaw, the refugee situation on the border between Finland and Russia will only get worse. He claims that soon migrants will begin to use impassable forests to illegally cross the border. He says that these illegal crossings are controlled by criminal networks involving Turks and Saudis.

Professor Maciej Dusik blamed Russia for the negative events at the border and called them a "hybrid war." He warns Finland to be prepared for further provocations. He also predicts an increase in the number of migrants at the border during the Finnish presidential elections in January 2024, seeing this as an attempt by Russia to influence the election process.

Dusik also notes that Russia and Belarus use the escort of migrants as a source of income. He points out that this business can be profitable for airlines, hotels, and universities in Russian cities, as well as for the administration.

Dusik calls on the countries bordering Russia to unite and develop joint countermeasures. He also emphasizes that immigration to these countries is different from immigration to countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea.

Even Norway is considering the temporary closure of its only checkpoint on the border with Russia. The Finnish authorities have announced the complete closure of four checkpoints on the border with Russia from November 18.
