EU Allocates €170 Million to Border Security, Including €50 Million for Finland, Amid Weaponized Migration Concerns
Dec 11, 2024, 02:16 PM
The European Commission has announced an allocation of €170 million to EU countries bordering Russia and Belarus to enhance border security amid concerns over 'weaponized migration.' This funding is part of a broader strategy to address the challenges posed by migration, which the EU claims is being exploited by Russia as a political tool. In addition, Finland will receive €50 million specifically to strengthen its borders with Russia. The EU has indicated that member states may limit asylum rights for migrants perceived to be 'instrumentalized' by Russia, marking a significant shift in policy. This move comes as the EU seeks to bolster surveillance and communication systems, and deploy anti-drone technology to manage the situation effectively.
