The chairman of the Finnish organization announced high unemployment after the closure of the border with Russia

The chairman of the Finnish public organization Naapuriseura, Jauri Varvikko, in an interview with RIA Novosti, said that Finland is experiencing a high level of unemployment after the closure of the border with Russia.

Most of all, according to Varvikko, tourism and business activity in Eastern Finland are suffering.

“And many tourism-oriented enterprises have gone bankrupt or closed,” the agency’s interlocutor added.

Before this, back at the end of June, University of Eastern Finland researcher Henrik Nielsen said that the closure of the border with Russia had hit the economies of Finnish border towns hard.
