Finland already found out the hard way, I do not blame them for taking such steps.
Russia are fantastic at buying up land abroad, like Hitler before them, it’s their pretense for invasion when those citizens are neglected somehow.
Rest of NATO and EU is implementing it when?
Nobody in the world should allow a Russian to own property. If they want to own property they should stay in their crap hole country
This should’ve been done decades ago.
ruzzia should be totally embargoed and all its citizens should be barred from traveling overseas or owning any land or property, the currency is worth shit anyway
Important background: Finland has had a system for some time now where foreigner buying property near ‘strategic’ places has to be approved by the ministry of defense. Earlier this system was on individual case-by-case basis. There has been few notable slips where dual citizen has acquired property with suspicious motives. As an example expensive and large property with 24/7 security cameras but with very little use by the owners, near an airfield. The suspicious properties are “under adequate surveillance” as stated by the authorities.
The security risk of allowing russians to freely buy property near important has been known and been a topic of many discussions from at least early/late 2000’s. Putin rose to power in -99 so the threat was recognized pretty fast. But before all the wars Putin started, poisonings abroad and oppression of press, democratic Finland didn’t have much ways to put total a blanket ban on foreigner buying a property if they had all the paperwork in order.
Hope Sweden does the same!
If only Germany were as foresighted. But here, Russian propaganda demonstrators are still being defended by the state!
Very smart.
Best to keep out the cockroaches and vermin, it’s just good policy.
