Finland
“is preparing to close its airspace to Russian air traffic,”
So transport Minister Timo Harakka wrote on Twitter. Finland shares an 800-mile border with Russia.
Other countries including Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Germany and Poland have blocked airspace to Russian flights, provoking huge detours. On Saturday Lithuania said it will block Russian flights, cutting a quick route from Russia’s Kaliningrad enclave to Ukraine.
Russia has retaliated and banned multiple countries from its airspace in response to the sanctions.
Meanwhile, according to TheGuardian, The Finland is also scheduled to approve the dispatch of a consignment of bullet-proof vests, helmets and a mobile hospital to Ukraine. It has previously approved the shipment of around 40 artillery guns to Ukraine.
