The recession in the country turned out to be deeper and tougher than in Germany.

On the same day, during a working trip to the Northwestern Federal District, Medvedev said that Russia could not ignore Finland's membership in NATO. According to him, the country is building a military infrastructure on the border with the Russian Federation, and this fact is changing Russia's approaches to border protection and repelling possible unfriendly actions. Medvedev also stressed the importance of strengthening the protection of state borders in the north-west of the country.
