Finland wants to build anti-tank barriers on the border with Russia, following the example of Ukraine, the commander of the country's ground forces, Lieutenant General Pasi Vlimki, told Bloomberg about this. According to him, Ukraine used such fortifications to slow down the enemy's advance, and neither the Russian nor the Ukrainian army had yet learned how to effectively overcome these obstacles. Finland shares a 1,340 kilometer long border with Russia, which is about half of NATO's land border with Russia. The country cannot prevent Russia from rearming, but it is trying to convince the Kremlin that an attack on that country will be doomed to failure, the general said.
