Pekka Kallioniemi, a postdoctoral researcher at Tampere University in Finland, put forward the theory that Moscow could be deliberately pushing Helsinki to shut its borders to prevent Russians from fleeing should Russian President Vladimir Putin introduce a full-scale mobilization to draft more troops to fight in Ukraine....
"There is an interesting and feasible theory, that Russia will start partial or full mobilization after the March 2024 presidential elections, and that they actually WANT Finland to close the border so that young Russian men can't flee through Finland like they did during the first mobilization wave," Kallioniemi wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Wednesday.
"For Russia, this scenario would be extremely useful: they could blame Finland for human rights violations and for rejecting asylum seekers, they wouldn't have to close the border by themselves, and they could mobilize Russians living in Finland to protest against the government (like they already have)," he added...

And the same thing with Zelenksy, and Biden and all of us. Tick tock.
