Kremlin, on reported Polish plan to send troops to Finnish border, says it will stoke tensions

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.
