Authorities in Finland announced on Monday that construction of a 200-kilometer fence along the country's border with Russia has been completed. The project took two years to finish.
Finland, a NATO member state, shares one of the longest land borders with Russia among the alliance's countries. The fence's completion comes amid continued elevated tensions between the West and Russia in recent years.
The announcement did not provide further details on the fence's specific purpose or future plans regarding border security measures.
