Finland is considering the possibility of completely banning Russians from entering the country, local public broadcaster Yle writes. As early as 2022, Finland stopped issuing tourist visas to Russians. The country's Prime Minister Petri Orfo called the absolute ban on entry a "consistent decision" against the background of the increased restrictions on Russians. The topic became relevant due to the planned sports competitions in Finland. In November, Helsinki will host two National Hockey League games, the Finlandia Figure Skating Cup tournament and the Broka Skiing World Cup round. In October, the Court of Arbitration for Sport ordered the International Ice Hockey Federation to admit Russian national teams to international tournaments.
