Following the lead of Baltic countries, Finland is reportedly planning to prohibit passenger cars with Russian registration from entering the country, as reported by Yle. Finland aims to adopt a more stringent stance in line with the European Union (EU).

According to Yle, this decision is based on a policy from the European Commission that was approved a week ago. The European Commission is thus seeking to prevent the circumvention of sanctions.

Lithuania had previously announced a similar decision, with Latvia and Estonia subsequently joining the initiative.
