Wie ich sehe, ist Russland ein "Feind" Jetzt. Auch für Familienangehörige sind die Grenzen geschlossen, es gibt keine Banküberweisungen und grundsätzlich ist für die Angehörigen alles verboten "üblich" Menschen.
Gleichzeitig ist der Grenzübergang Vainikkala für Güterzüge geöffnet sagte YLEJeden Monat kommen etwa 3.500 Waggons aus Russland nach Finnland. Dutzende Millionen Euro werden an Russland gezahlt (und dieses Geld wird in die Produktion von Kriegsausrüstung fließen, nicht wahr?).
Gleichzeitig verkehren viele Frachtschiffe wie dieses zwischen Finnland und Russland. wie dieses hier.
Deshalb ist es für mich ein wenig überraschend, so etwas zu haben "Doppelmoral," Und während Russland im Staatsfernsehen gehasst wird, hält der Staat gleichzeitig das Finanz- und Frachtgeschäft am Laufen.
Why Finland keep trading with Russia?

The reason is quite simple:
Greed
Companies will keep doing it until it creates enough bad press for them to stop.
You know, even Ukraine is trading with Russia, as they keep the gas pipes open to the Europe, delivering russian gas thru Ukraine. Some stuff bought from russia is so difficult to aquire from elsewhere that the people in charge have decided to trade with russia.
Finland is a constitutional state and respects international law and agreements, unlike rüssiä.
Therefore Finland keeps receiving stuff that has been ordered before the war. Deals were done, you can’t get out of them like that. Because the Finnish customer is obliged to pay, they pay, and they receive the goods back. We could just only pay and receive nothing, so paying and receiving goods is a better option.
The same goes with export, but if there is some export limitation laid out by EU that of course will stop that export. Then force majeure conditions of the contract can be triggered.
Then there’s transcontinental trade using railroads. There can be cargo from China that passes through rüssiä and back that comes to Finland through Vainikkala.
World is a complex place and there is rules we operate by. Although one participant doesn’t follow all the rules it doesn’t mean other players can stop following the rule rules with the one participant. Like in real world, if someone punches you, you’re not allowed to rob that person’s wallet.
Finland can’t prohibit rüssiän owned companies operating there with extrajudical decisions. Everything has to go according to international law.
Only shithole countries like rüssia don’t care about international law. Countries like that become pariah states and their opinions go to deaf ears. In times of reckoning countries who didn’t play the rules won’t get opportunity to complain.
Theres companies in Finland making military components for Russia. Nokian tires still operates a factory there (which kind of makes sense) The Russians and US still work together on the space station and use rockets. War is profit, Zelensky says theyre about to win, they just need more money, like always. The US economy is falsly propped up with the war, nobody wants it to end except normal people.
Imposing sanctions doesn’t make sense, if they would hurt you way more than they would hurt russia.
Russia is a shithole that should be sanctioned to stone age and a lot of resources should be spend on finding substitutes for russian raw materials. But some sanctions just don’t make sense, at least at the moment.
On cargo trains it is mainly nickel ore that comes to Finland to processing refinery which actually is owned by Russian oligard who is on the ban list. EU has not banned nickel. Nickel plays a crucial role in batteries, particularly in nickel-based and lithium-ion batteries. Currently there is such a high demand in due green transition that it is in the exception list. Although, imports are getting lower slowly as alternatives come to play.
Beside the mentioned stuff, if we stop importing nitrates and phosphates, we would starve in the next harvest season…
