Kremlin, on reported Polish plan to send troops to Finnish border, says it will stoke tensions
- Country:
- Russian Federation
The Kremlin, commenting on media reports that Poland plans to send troops to Finland's border with Russia, said on Wednesday that such a move could stoke tensions and that Russia would see it as a threat.
The head of Poland's National Security Bureau was reported to have said this week that Warsaw planned to approve a Finnish request for troops to be deployed close to its border with Russia.
Finland has moved to close its border with Russia after a sudden wave of refugee arrivals Helsinki said was orchestrated by Moscow, something Russia denied.
