The spike in Russian asylum applications to Finland following the country’s invasion of Ukraine has subsided.
Last year 1,172 Russian citizens sought asylum in Finland. In comparison, at the beginning of this month, Finnish Immigration Service Migri registered just 270 such applications.
“Last year, there was a slight spike in the number of Russian asylum seekers compared to previous years,” said Juha Similä, Head of Section at Migri’s Asylum Unit.
Russian asylum seeker levels are now back at typical levels of 200-500 applications per year.
-> it is back to normal levels. This would be a better headline.
