In Finnish border town, worry mounts over Russian military build-up


Kuhmo (AFP) – In the Finnish town of Kuhmo, a stone’s throw from Russia, Moscow’s reported military build-up on its side of the border is raising concerns about the Nordic country’s security. Recent satellite images obtained by media outlets including the New York Times, Finnish public broadcaster Yle and Swedish broadcaster SVT have revealed an expansion of Russian military infrastructure in various locations near the Finnish border. “After a long period of peace, everyone is of course now talking about war,” says Samuli Pulkkinen, a market vendor in the town.
