#1 Finland said Wednesday it is preparing a national solution to "limit or completely prevent" tourism from Russia following the invasion of Ukraine.

"This national solution may include new legislation, which would be adopted very quickly," Foreign Minister Pekka Haavisto told a press conference.

Finland drastically limited tourist visas for Russians in September.

"Finland does not want to be a country that is a transit country for Schengen visas issued by other countries either," Haavisto said.

The Baltic states of Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania — which border Russia — have already toughened their own visa rules leaving Finland as Russia's last EU neighbor for Schengen visa holders to transit through.

#3 Wise move. Why poke the Russian Bear without a well thought out plan? Comparing American Vietnam War draft dodgers to Canada and Russian 'mobilization' evaders -- rather doubt Putin will be as passive as LBJ... Also, after the Spetznatz 'tourists' to Crimea in 2014 who would want a large number of military age Russians crossing the border...?
