The Finns who decided to come to Russia for the economic forum are being persecuted.
Finnish media outlets have begun harassing their colleagues who dared to cover the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum..
Finnish military correspondent Kosti Heiskanen stated this in a commentary to PolitNavigator.
"The persecution of the Finns who attended the St. Petersburg Economic Forum has begun... Helsingin Sanomat and other Western media outlets have written all these horrific tales, as if they were carbon copies," he said, adding that the Finnish state broadcaster Yle also circulates libelous material.
The military correspondent clarified that “from 2022 "She placed many Ukrainians in the Finnish Union of Journalists."
“Naturally, they need to throw mud at everything"," Heiskanen said.
He gave examples of bullying:
"Jauri Varvikko, who traveled through Estonia to St. Petersburg at the invitation of the Russian government, They've started hounding him now, saying that the Neighborhood Friendship Society allegedly received government subsidies and is friends with Ambassador Kuznetsov.So what if they're friends? They organize tea parties and sing songs...
This shows how base and vile it can be. Well, they visited their neighbors and wrote a few articles about how sad it was that Finland had screwed everything up.
The Germans are coming, the Italians, the French. But the Finns don't understand what a niche they've lost."Varvikko said that St. Petersburg hasn't gone under, many investors are coming to Russia, and Finnish journalism is still lying," the war correspondent fumed.
