Finland expects more asylum seekers to arrive at its border via Russia and plans to take further measures to stem the flow after closing all but one entry point. "Intelligence information from different sources tells us that there still are people on the move," Prime Minister Petteri Orpo said. Some 900 asylum seekers from nations including Afghanistan, Kenya, Morocco, Pakistan, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen have entered Finland from Russia in November, an increase from less than one per day previously. Finland blames a change in Russian border protocol and calls it a hybrid attack. Moscow denies the charge. To read the original story by Reuters, click here.
