If the bill is passed, Russian citizens will no longer be allowed to buy, for example, individual houses, dachas, land, commercial real estate and warehouses in Finland.
The Finnish Ministry of Defense has completed the development of a bill proposing to completely ban real estate transactions in the country for Russian citizens and legal entities. This was said by the head of the Finnish Ministry of Defense, Antti Hyakkänen, reports Iltalehti.
According to him, the purchase of real estate in Finland is part of Russia’s attempts to influence the Finnish authorities, and its ban is also justified in view of Russia’s full-scale aggression against Ukraine.
“We have prepared a bill on a complete ban on transactions in Russian real estate As an exception, Russian citizens living in Finland with a permanent residence permit will be allowed to buy real estate, otherwise there will be a complete ban Antti Häkkänen.
If the bill is passed, Russian citizens will no longer be allowed to buy, for example, individual houses, dachas, land, commercial real estate and warehouses in Finland.
According to the Finnish minister, a complete ban is necessary.
“The legal justification is that people or companies from a country at war, that is, Russia, cannot buy property in Finland,” he said.
We remind you that Finland made a statement about the opening of the border with Russia. The country’s Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen suggests that the issue of opening the border may be reconsidered in the fall.
