European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced 170 million euros ($187 million) in financial support for six European countries bordering Russia and Belarus to bolster their border protection efforts.

"Finland, alongside the Baltic countries, [Poland], and Norway, is currently protecting their borders from threats of all forms coming from Russia and Belarus," von der Leyen wrote on X.

Finland closed its border with Russia in late November 2023, and the Finnish government decided to keep the border with Russia closed 'until further notice' in April 2024.
