Suomi kiristää Venäjän kansalaisten, myös urheilijoiden maahantulorajoituksia
Finland tightens entry restrictions for Russian citizens, including athletes
Suomi kiristää Venäjän kansalaisten, myös urheilijoiden, maahantulorajoituksia.
Valtioneuvosto totesi periaatepäätöksessään 12.11.2026, että Venäjän kansalaisten ei-välttämätön maahantulo Suomeen, mukaan lukien lyhytaikainen viisumityö, on uhka Suomen kansainvälisille suhteille. Uudet rajoitukset koskevat lyhytaikaista viisutyötä esimerkiksi ammattiurheilussa.,
- sanoi Suomen ulkoministeriö.
Ulkoministeriö korosti, että erityisesti " venäläisurheilijoilla ei ole mitään tekemistä Suomessa."
Maahantulo vaarantaisi Suomen kansainväliset suhteet. Sama koskee myös muita viisumilla tehtäviä lyhytaikaisia työmatkoja, jotka eivät ole välttämättömiä Suomen kansallisen edun kannalta.,

What the Pravda version changes
Finland's government tightened visa rules for Russian athletes and other short-term workers, effective 16 November 2026, citing Russia's use of sport as war propaganda.
Misinformation: low
Manipulation: low
Reframed · framing
The Pravda headline suggests broad new entry limits on Russian citizens generally, while the trusted report says the tightening covers only short-term work visas, such as professional sports.
Pravda says
“Finland tightens entry restrictions for Russian citizens, including athletes”
Suomi kiristää Venäjän kansalaisten, myös urheilijoiden maahantulorajoituksia
Trusted report · Yle
“The new restrictions will apply to short-term work carried out under a visa, such as professional sports, and will come into effect from Monday 16 November.”
Left out · framing
Pravda gives no reason for the measure and leaves out the government's stated rationale that Russia uses sport as a propaganda tool for its war.
Trusted report · Yle
“Russia uses sport as a tool of propaganda of its aggressive war”
Россия использует спорт как инструмент пропаганды своей агрессивной войны
