Euromaidan Press · Ukraine · Russia suspends all railway crossings with Finland, Estonia and Latvia without explanation
Reported that the five Finnish crossings had been virtually unused since 2022 but that the Pechory-Pskov (Estonia) and Pytalovo (Latvia) crossings had carried some freight. Noted that formal suspension removes these as diplomatic de-escalation assets. Finnish transport officials confirmed awareness of the order.
“The formal suspension removes the last physical rail links between Russia and NATO's northeastern flank.”
