The Finland government reported on Friday that they would decide on "significant restrictions" on the entry of Russian citizens and the issuance of visas due to "serious harm to the international position" of the country. According to Yle, the Russians will not be able to enter Finland on a tourist visa issued by Helsinki or other Schengen countries. Earlier, the Finnish Border Service reported that in a week the number of Russians entering Finland has doubled.
