Finland’s national railway operator will suspend flights between Helsinki and St. Petersburg in Russia on Monday, closing one of the last public transport routes to the European Union for the Russians.
Following the sanctions in Russia, the VR operator had received instructions from the state that it was no longer suitable to operate the route to St. Petersburg, known as Allegro, said the head of the passenger traffic Topi Simola in a statement on Friday.
“So, we’re stopping traffic for now,” Simola said.
Trains from Russia to the Finnish capital Helsinki have been full of Russians since the invasion of Ukraine, which Russia calls a “special operation”, and the reciprocal closure of airspace cut off flights between Russia and the European Union. .
The border between Finland and Russia remains open for private car crossings.
