Finland should make it harder to obtain citizenship, government says

Finland last year shut its border with Russia amid a growing number of arrivals from countries including Syria and Somalia, and accused Moscow of weaponising migration against the Nordic nation and the European Union, an assertion the Kremlin denies.
