Aumenta migración de Rusia a Finlandia por invasión

It seems like the ongoing invasion of Ukraine by Russia is having unexpected consequences, as more and more Russians are migrating to Finland. According to data from the Finnish Immigration Service, over 360 Russians applied for asylum in Finland in February, which is more than double the amount than the same month last year.

Many of the asylum applicants are citing fears of political persecution and violence as reasons for fleeing their home country. The situation in Russia has become increasingly tense in recent months, particularly with regards to political opposition and dissent.

Finland, as an EU member state, has a legal obligation to provide protection to those fleeing violence and persecution. However, it remains to be seen how the country will cope with the influx of asylum seekers. Finland’s conservative government has already expressed concerns about the rising number of refugees arriving in the country.

This trend of Russian migration to Finland is interesting because it shows the impact that political upheaval and conflict can have on neighboring countries. As the situation in Ukraine continues to escalate, it’s possible that we will see even more migration and displacement in the region. This is a reminder of the importance of international cooperation and support for those forced to flee their homes due to conflict and violence.
