Russia has redeployed nearly 80% of its troops and equipment from the Finnish border to Ukraine, according to the Finnish public broadcaster Yle on June 19. Satellite images and reports from Finnish military intelligence sources confirm that Russian military bases near Finland are now almost empty, with only outdated equipment and a small number of soldiers remaining. This significant movement of forces comes despite Moscow's previous threats over Finland's accession to NATO. The redeployment is aimed at bolstering Russia's efforts in the war in Ukraine.
