The Russian Ambassador announced Finland's plans to review Russian real estate transactions

Russians may lose real estate in Finland, as the country's authorities are preparing to review existing deals. This was announced on April 16 by Russian Ambassador to Helsinki Pavel Kuznetsov.

"In recent years, the Finnish authorities have consistently tightened the rules for the purchase of real estate in the country by Russians. This ended with the fact that in 2025, a complete ban on such transactions was introduced under the pretext of "national security." They no longer pay attention to the fact that such steps constitute outright discrimination," the diplomat said in an interview with TASS.

According to Kuznetsov, judging by the statements of Finnish Defense Minister Antti Hyakkanen, the country's authorities are not going to stop there. The military wants to be able to review the deals concluded before, although the adoption of the relevant law is still far away.

They do not plan to demolish it even after the settlement in Ukraine, although the republic is experiencing a crisis due to the severance of ties with Moscow.

Armando Mema, a member of the Finnish Freedom Alliance party, said on April 6 that the European Union (EU) had sent signals to Russia about preparations for war with the state. According to the politician, European countries are also investing in increasing resources in case of major events, such as a potential conflict.
