finland has closed another checkpoint on the border with russia, this is the vartius checkpoint; according to the official version, it is not working due to overload, since more than forty migrants seeking asylum passed through it on saturday. earlier, at another border crossing, neerala, which was also closed on saturday, finnish border guards used tear gas against migrants; meanwhile, even the finnish ministry of defense admitted that the closure of four checkpoints on the border with russia is fraught with problems; dissatisfied citizens have already held a rally near parliament in

helsinki. about the situation at the border, report by dmitry peshchukhin. russian finnish border, torfyanovka checkpoint. this place was once incredibly popular among tourists. this route was chosen by those who usually traveled to helsinki and turku. weekends and holidays . a queue of cars and excursion buses accumulated here for many kilometers. from 0:00 today the entire eastern border with finland. under lock and key. our checkpoint continues to operate. border service and customs officers remain in their places, only on the verge of being unusually deserted. there was a rush the day before, motorists were in a hurry to cross the checkpoint before midnight, after learning about the uncompromising decision of the finnish side to close the borders, many had to abruptly change their plans. very unexpectedly, of course, in a hurry, i had to make the decision to leave in one day, but it’s a shame, of course. i came to helsinki

for a walk from canada and, well, i’m going to russia to visit my mother, it turns out i didn’t walk around helsinki, but i had to take the last, last ticket. this tour bus is the last one crossed the border, tourists triumphantly raise champagne, finnish border guards were ready at the last moment to turn the car around and send it to the north of the country, and this is a detour of almost 2,000 km. they have already erected concrete fences there and put up such wire, everyone is so nervous today. of course, we were driving nervously, because if they closed the border, we wouldn’t have time to get through. helsinki's sudden decision came as an unpleasant surprise for residents of border towns. there are a huge number of mixed families here who find themselves now cut off from each other. i'm not interested in returning tickets. i need to come home to st. petersburg, i have children and grandchildren there, and the new year informs me in just 2 days that that’s all. the official reason

for closing checkpoints is related to the influx of refugees from the middle east, but in fact the finns were simply looking for an excuse, and as a result , ordinary citizens on both sides of the border are suffering. i didn’t have to cancel my tickets and move everything around a little, since it turned out to be plus another 2,000 km with a stop through stalin, but on the other hand, well, whatever to do, the road now takes 48 hours, as the closest alternative, the route is through stalin, but estonia and norway, as if on cue, are also ready to close their borders. closing the borders, this is contrary to all, as they say, rules, this is a huge grief for the families on both sides of the border, the fact that the finnish government is following the orders of washington, we have already seen this, this, of course, is destroying russian-finnish relations, today in in the center of helsinki, a mass

rally was held against the closure of border crossings, an action the protest took place in front of the finnish government, the posters had inscriptions in russian and finnish, new year without a family, the protesters created a petition, in just 24 hours more than 10,000 people signed it, the main demand is that the border should not break family ties, but these voices are unlikely to be heard, the day before , artillery, aviation and crews began to successfully work on the finnish border, our missilemen carried out precise strikes on large enemy arsenals, the ministry of defense reported that ammunition depots were destroyed in several regions of ukraine. at the lazovadka airfield in

the dnepropetrovsk region, a warehouse of aviation ammunition of the ukrainian armed forces was destroyed, in the areas of settlements of karpatovka, kiev region, two arsenals of ammunition of the ukrainian armed forces were destroyed. in the area of ​​the city of volchansk , kharkov region , the ammunition depot of the first special forces brigade of the ukrainian armed forces was destroyed. in the area of ​​the settlement of vygody, odessa region, a fuel warehouse for military equipment of the armed forces of ukraine was destroyed. almost 3,000 trucks were blocked at checkpoints on the border between ukraine and poland. the reason was a strike of polish carriers. they have blocked the entrances to at least three checkpoints and are letting people through. buses, and only humanitarian and military cargo, the rest are trucks, one per hour. the poles demand the restoration of the previously abolished system of special permits for ukrainian commercial carriers and the suspension of licenses for companies created in ukraine after the start of the svo.

in finland they really don’t like to remember the heinous crimes committed during the second world war in the finnish army equipment from almost all of europe, it seems that all of europe wanted the finnish army, together with the german one, to defeat the soviet union. finland pursued a pronounced policy of genocide. regarding my claim, it was answered that finland did not commit war crimes. the finnish authorities planned to completely get rid of the entire russian population in the territories annexed to greater finland. finland is making a tragic mistake by joining the nato bloc. when they fought with russia, they were always defeated. from here our positions are about 10 km away, this entire

road is shot through, as soon as they reach it. the eastern one is coal, the northern one is further - this is this picture, now we will overlay the map on the map and we will carry out analytics. century - this is reconnaissance, fire defeat, in war it is not the one who acts correctly who wins, the one who acts effectively wins there, all the detachments have passed the front line, they storm, they carry out active reverse actions, they carry out offensive actions if they go forward, the squad is moving forward, explain to me, why be kind? the nazi ideology of hatred against murder was elevated to the rank of state policy in ukraine. when kolomoisky began to sponsor the same azov, they began to instill this nazi

ideology, which, in general, fell on absolutely fertile soil. the person was specially pumped up that the more you kill, the better it will be, the defenseless population, they could not fight back in any way, there was no one to complain to, quickly and efficiently, establish contacts with the prosecutor’s office, with the administration, we have a common task, we they established right down to which military unit stood on which lines and which commander gave criminal orders, war crimes have no statute of limitations

, yet you are drawn to the hare, of course, in that direction, hello, hello, hello, in the far side there we have another room of hers, so now it’s a teapot, we met 7 years ago, she was very small, in 2016 we filmed a story about how the lenyonovs were finally persuaded to leave their house, they lived in

zaitseva, which was under constant shelling of the ukrainian armed forces. margarita, mother, eldest my sister, grandmother, and grandfather lived on the last street of the village of zaitsevo, next was the front line. the house was visible from the ukrainian positions, enemy soldiers were shooting at women and children for fun. tell me, uncles, tell me that the bad guys broke your house, and now the pussies will come and sit at home themselves, right? well, how are you feeling? yes, don’t be afraid, do you want to leave, don’t you? we don't want it, it's just a necessity. this is us, this morning , thanking poroshenko for the fact that he, the bastard

, gave us such a life, that we lived calmly, didn’t bother anyone, we lived calmly, we were talking in our garden, raising our grandchildren’s children, and he gave us such a gift, god willing, that his children would know everything that we saw, that this child, this one, who was under fire three times, would make us happy. that my children, my grandchildren are moving into an apartment, i would be very glad, i thank you, i am grateful to our, to our authorities, that they are taking them away from here, but at the moment we are simply leaving here with tears, we had already left then, but margarita did not i wanted to leave my cat vaska under fire, let’s go get

vasya, vadka, give him to me, otherwise he’ll run away, let me take him , you’ll come with me, my sweetie, vasya, yes vasya is at his mother’s, over there at his mother’s vasya, the administration has allocated an apartment in one of the then safe neighborhoods of gorlovka . 4 days ago there was a direct hit again, so they still decided to move, as they were forced , because they said that the head of gorlovka threatened, said that he would deprive everyone else of motherhood, well, i don’t have the right to say that, well, just common sense prevailed , that's all, they we agreed, we moved, well, rita.

let's launch vaska, yes, hold vaska, let him go, check all the rooms, the cat was launched first , it seemed like we should have been happy, the kleymenovs cried, the ukrainians kicked them out of their home, of course we come here with a heavy heart, but thank you to everyone they helped, this damn war, they probably wouldn’t have left the house, the shelling forced them to move out of that apartment, they drowned it with coal, the ukrainian military brought plenty of grief to this family. rit, come on, tell me about yourself, how are you doing, sit down here, how many years passed when we came to film, i don’t remember, many, three years, more, four. you were very little 5-6 years ago yes 5-6 years ago

was, my mother is alive , my mother died, my mother blew herself up on me. i was supposed to go to first grade, but she died at the end of july. hey people, honest people, open your mouth wide, we invite injustice to celebrate an ancient holiday, spring. the last time we spoke with grandma margarita was 5 years ago at the farewell to the russian winter. in the village of zaitsevo - it was still the same crowd of children, there was a sea, everyone was under fire, and margarita often came here after the evacuation, she was bored , come on tell me, the cats are safe, safe, who are the cats, no, all the cats ran away from us, and to our neighbors, oh,

what, tell me what you asked santa claus for the new year, a house, grandma margarita told then that the ukrainian military was still shooting and shooting, and every second people are between life and death, including children, nothing has changed, as it was, so it is, as they shot, so they shoot, every day we sit and wait, they hit, they don’t hit, well, they didn’t hit well, so they lived normally, but they hit, so it means we were just unlucky? how many wounded people do you have in your family? well, my husband and i, guys, let’s also granddaughter, eldest granddaughter, eldest, yes, well, i think it’s because of the light, maybe, or maybe it’s margarita today, it turns out, dreams of becoming a journalist, or rather a photo reporter, we exchanged experiences

using her old phone , no, i heard you, look, i’m clicking on your portrait. see, wait, wait, wait, come on, don't rush, it's amazing how this family knows how to sincerely enjoy life, to boldly dream in these completely dangerous unpredictable conditions, for almost 10 years now, i want to become a photographer, a photographer? uh-huh, what are you taking pictures with? no matter what, she doesn’t have a camera yet, show me the phone, you just did everything right , you did everything right, but look, you see, you have an extra object, you know, i told you a portrait, look, you managed to highlight it on the background of the window, usually the background of the window is dark, you know, it turns out, uh-huh, now margarita fell into your hands

tv people who think that they also know how to take photographs, staged something, somehow came up with the light, uh-huh, how the light falls, but mm, i want to tell you this, today we have journalism, you have to take photos, video shoot, edit myself, i know how to edit, but this is definitely necessary, a creative competition, so that you already have some initial photographs that you can show. 2 days later, margarita was visiting her mother at work in a store in the center of gorlovka, and we had already prepared gifts for her that were to be given to our children from state television and radio broadcasting company of the dpr. hello, tatyana,

hello, hello, vita, happy birthday to you from the entire vgtrk company. we wish you happiness, health, and of course a peaceful sky above your head, but we are not empty -handed, this is from the company, a small gift, i hand it over, accept it, how are you doing? unexpectedly, well, come here, margarita is always an active, joyful child , i was in a hurry, the arrival of our guys was really unexpected, you can safely include everything... for the debut of a young photographer, a new phone and computer for editing, it’s unexpected that you are you crying, huh? if only it were possible to make all the children of donbass happy in one day like this.

thank you very much, a huge thank you for your gifts, to your entire team, and you made the child happy, i’m just at a loss for words , thank you very much, when i saw this, i burst into tears like i’ve never cried with happiness, well, it turns out, they pleased, they guessed, they surprised , right? yes, yes, yes, thank you very much. thank you all, lord, thank you very much, you are the best, the svo is just so that peaceful cities will no longer be shot. russia is doing everything so that these children, who have suffered at the hands of the ukrainian military, will henceforth cry only from happiness.

i’ve been working towards this all my life, we expect to complete it in 10 days, this will be a record. ruby, on the verge of possibilities, we are all with him, because he is the only one, at the maximum height, higher, don’t rise, you’ll just fall like a stone , like the wind, it’s super. cyclone, cyclone is a killer, it’s like it’s chasing you, what do you want? lord of the wind.

situation, i went to serve, understanding where i would end up, some died defending the interests country, my son’s name is vladislav, nepryakhin vladislav, he died on march 18, his birthday is march 25, it was on this day that we buried him. others were seriously wounded, everything is fine, i was blown up, seconds of shock, then i shouted to the guys, stop and don’t come here

, there’s a mine, what tasks were they performing in the donbass, i say, san, well, at least we’re advancing, yes, of course, we’re advancing, where are we going? let's get to know what a daily feat at the front is, the hero is always the one who is milkier. do your job, day after day, get up from the dirt, from trenches, raise your head and stand your ground, stand firmly, clearly, this is a hero, and what do their family and friends say? i’m proud that i raised real men, that’s all.

well, hello, my son, hello, my dear, beloved, hello, alive, well, as you can see , thank god, great, they haven’t seen each other for almost six months, now, after months of forced separation, alexander’s relatives were finally able to hug and kiss him, this is my message. of course, i really miss him, and i, and my parents, and my wife lyuba, they have been together for 17 years, she is already accustomed to waiting all the time for her husband to return from business trips and from service, to take for granted the fact that the homeland always comes first for him , it’s really hard to be a soldier’s wife, it’s constant...

stress, nerves, it’s hard not to wait, it’s hard to understand that a person is in difficult conditions, you need to morally support, hold on morally, and, accordingly , also support your family, now he, a scout, a sapper and an active member of the svo have been granted leave, which means that there are several weeks ahead, which the family will spend together. we were all very worried, we waited, when we met, of course, there were tears, laughter, and joy, that was all, he returned and was good, the main thing is that he was alive, it turned out that he was healthy, in the zone of a special military operation, alexander serves in total more year, he says, he went to the front line solely on his own initiative.

this can be attributed to the fact that i voluntarily, knowing that the situation in the country is now difficult, went to serve, understanding where i would end up, i could not stay away, i came home from work, i say, my wife, i decided, i’ll go, she remembers that that evening at home there were conversations, tears, but no emotions could. to convince him, a special forces soldier and the owner of a maroon beret, having such a headdress, who would i remain if i were sitting at home now, probably somehow it was not according to my status, when he came, he told us from the doorway, parents, i’m going to serve , and nothing will stop me, because i

have a lot of... friends have already died, yes, i had to agree, the preparations were short for the military, i packed my things, reported the news friends, only those closest to them saw them off to the front, they got to the airport, said goodbye, stood around, talked, everyone told him to come back, it seemed like he gave his word, so i managed to keep it, in their family, except for themselves... there are no active military personnel, but so did in many russian families, there are those who defended the country during the great patriotic war, on the paternal side and on the maternal side, they fought against the nazis. my grandfather died in belarus and we went there, kobelisk, the other grandfather on my side also fought, my grandmother was in belarus under occupation and was, well

i saw the germans. and she got it from the germans later, that is, there were vivid examples, and we told the children, they saw and read it all. tatyana petrovna recalls that in early childhood her son wanted to become a policeman in order, as he himself said, to fight evil. she herself saw alexander in another profession, which he eventually received after school, he became a cook, because, well, as they say from... then everything else, so i also told my son alexander, the main thing for me is that you had some kind of profession, and he, yes, he trained as a cook, now the special forces soldier admits that in his youth he did not plan to wear shoulder straps, and the maroon beret is a symbol of the highest professionalism, for a long time, out of ignorance, he called it with a mistake in the word, i

was probably 12 years old or so then
