Kremlin propagandist Tigran Keosayan threatened Finland following Finland's closure of four border crossings with Russia on November 21, 2023.
On November 21, 2023, Tigran Keosayan, husband of Kremlin propagandist and RT editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan, issued threats against Finland after the Finnish government closed four border crossings with Russia. Keosayan and Simonyan have been linked to multiple corruption scandals, including funneling Russian state funds through a failed 2018 film project titled Crimean Bridge. The threats come amid rising tensions due to Finland’s tightening of border security with Russia. The incident reflects ongoing information and psychological warfare efforts by Kremlin-aligned actors targeting Finland.
Confidence: High
The event clearly describes hostile verbal threats by a Kremlin-aligned propagandist directed at Finland in retaliation for Finnish border closures with Russia, qualifying as a psychological warfare aggression. There is no mention of Finnish defensive measures in this source, so it is not a defense preparation event.
