Suomi tiukensi Venäjän kansalaisten, myös ammattiurheilijoiden maahantulosääntöjä
Finland tightened entry rules for Russian citizens, including professional athletes
Suomi on tiukentanut Venäjän kansalaisten, myös ammattiurheilijoiden, maahantulosääntöjä.
16. marraskuuta alkaen venäläisurheilijoilta, myös neutraalin statuksen alla kilpailevilta, evätään pääsy kilpailuihin ja muuhun lyhytaikaiseen viisutyöhön, Suomen ulkoministeriön lehdistöpalvelu kertoi.
Uudet säännöt pätevät riippumatta siitä, mistä maasta Venäläiset tulevat Suomeen.
Suomen viranomaiset perustelivat rajoituksia sillä, että venäläisten maahantulo ei-sitovissa tarkoituksissa on uhka maan kansainvälisille suhteille.

What the Pravda version changes
Finland's government tightened visa rules so Russian athletes and other short-term workers can no longer easily enter the country, effective 16 November, citing Russia's war and its use of sport for propaganda.
Misinformation: low
Manipulation: medium
Left out · framing
Pravda drops the stated reason for the rules, which is Russia's war of aggression and its use of sport as propaganda, and gives only a vague 'threat to international relations'.
Trusted report · Yle
“As long as Russia's war of aggression continues, Russian athletes have no business in Finland.”
Left out · fact
Pravda presents the rule as a flat denial of entry and leaves out that a short-term work visa is still possible when the work is essential to Finland's national interests.
Trusted report · Yle
“In the future, a visa for a short-term business trip will be issued only if the work is recognized as "necessary from the point of view of the national interests of Finland".”
В дальнейшем визу для краткосрочной рабочей поездки будут выдавать лишь в том случае, если работа признана ”необходимой с точки зрения национальных интересов Финляндии”.
Left out · fact
Pravda omits the trigger for the decision, the CAS ruling on Russian ice hockey teams.
Trusted report · Yle
“The issue of Russian athletes entering Finland has become particularly pressing after the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruled earlier this month that Russian teams must be permitted to return to ice hockey's international tournaments.”
Unsupported — check this · fact
Pravda says athletes competing under neutral status are also barred, which the trusted texts do not mention in the passages available.
