  1. **From The Telegraph:**

    Helsinki shut its four border crossings on Saturday in a bid to halt an upsurge in illegal migration, which it says is Russia’s retaliation to it joining Nato.

    “This causes nothing but deep regret, because we had long-standing, very good relations with Finland, pragmatic, based on mutual respect,” Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said.

    “And of course, we regret that these relations were replaced by such an exclusively Russophobic position, which the leaders of this country began to espouse.”

  2. “We are invading a sovereign country, bombing civilians, and kidnapping Ukrainian children, why are our neighboring countries so Russophobic?”

    They don’t seem to have self-awareness. Or they do have self-awareness and mock us by saying stupid shit, expecting us to eat it up.

  3. I’d like to say a lot… to give my opinion about this war and the current regime..but I won’t , since I don’t want to be in prison..il be a good boy and will keep my mouth shut…have a good day everyone 🙃

  4. You’re phobic to something when you deem it a threat. Ukarine has a legitimate reason to be Russiophobic.

  5. Pretty soon they’ll be accusing their own citizens of Rusophobia.

  6. This is fucking hilarious.

    Shouldn’t this be good news for Russia – now there’s no evil westeners crossing border to their belowed holy Soviet Union’s soil..

  7. Close all the borders with Russia, keep the katsaps in Russia.

  8. A “phobia” is a irrational fear of something. Considering how Russia and Russian behave with all those crimes they commit in Ukraine and the almost daily threats towards EU and NATO countries, fear (and disgust) is warranted and not irrational.

  9. Is Russia planning to save the Russians in Finland from such behaviour?

  10. I said it once and I’ll say it again, FUCK RUSSIA AND FUCK PUTIN. Putins Russia is the worst fucking neighbour anyone could have. First they invade one of their neighbours (as usual) Commit a bunch of war crimes (as usual) Then they act all surprised when people start seeing Russia as the bad guy… And now they’re literally weaponizing asylum seekers and when Finland closes it’s borders, they call it Russophobic? You cannot be fucking serious.

  11. 🍊

    This is an apple.

    If you see an orange, you’re a Russophobic Anglo-Saxon from the collective West!

  12. A “Phobia” is an irrational fear. There is nothing irrational about fearing Russia – they did daily threats of nuking the west for over a year while invading a neighboring country and committing war crimes any chance they got.

  13. Doesn’t Russia’s own military doctrine forbid them from bordering with a NATO country? What are they on about?

  14. This statement is not addressed to us, but to the motherland for propaganda purposes.

  15. Russia has been pushing immigrants towards the Finnish border. It’s a well-known hybrid warfare tactic and the response is closed borders and increased surveillance. It’s no phobia, but a very real attempt to destabilize a country.

  16. I think this is a dangerous development. Russia was sending illegal immigrants towards Finland on cheap bikes, carrying improper documentation.

    I assume they knew what the response to this would be, meaning Russia wanted Finland to close their borders.

    I’m wondering about the reason they want closed borders though. And all I can think off is quite worrying.

  17. Thé whole world should be Russophobic at this point.

  18. A fear of Russia (the state) is entirely logical and justified.

  19. So defending one’s self against the incursion of Russian agents is now Russophobic. I mean technically it’s true just not in the way they think. And anyway fuck Russia.

  20. Russophobic, as in “The fear (phobia) of Russia”? Technically this is accurate. I’d be afraid as well if I’d share a border with Russia.

  21. Maybe stop killing innocent people when you don’t want people to be russophobic.
