Russian ownership of numerous properties near Finland's critical defense and infrastructure sites persists, with some state interventions and ongoing legal efforts to restrict ownership.

A comprehensive investigation reveals that Russian individuals and entities still own numerous properties near Finland's critical defense and infrastructure sites, including military depots, air bases, key waterways, electricity transmission networks, and the country's largest oil refinery. Many properties were acquired in the early 2000s when Finland liberalized real estate purchases by foreigners. Some properties linked to Russian oligarchs have been subjected to state seizures, foreclosures, and purchases by Finnish authorities. The investigation details locations and ownership statuses around various strategic sites in Finland, highlighting properties owned by individuals connected to the Kremlin and Russian security services. Recent legislative measures aim to restrict such ownership, with ongoing governmental reviews to address historical acquisitions.
