The European Union, including Finland, is actively developing artificial threats allegedly originating from Russia.

Axar.az reports that Maria Zakharova, an official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia, said this.

"The provocative statements made by the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, and the Prime Minister of Finland, Petri Orpo, during their joint visit to Lappeenranta, near the border with Russia, do not contain anything new. These are baseless accusations about the alleged hybrid operation launched by Russia against the EU member states and Finland, especially about creating a migration crisis at the borders of Finland," said Zakharova.
