		</div><p>Finland will close its last remaining road border with Russia due to concerns over migration, Prime Minister Petteri Orpo has said, accusing Moscow of undermining Finland’s national security.</p>
<p>Finland had already closed seven of the eight checkpoints along its long border with Russia this month following a surge in arrivals of migrants from the Middle East and Africa. The government accuses Moscow of ushering the migrants toward the Finnish border.</p>
<p>“The government has decided to close the entire eastern border,” Mr Orpo told reporters, saying the country faced an “exceptional” situation.</p>
<p>“We don’t accept any attempt to undermine our national security,” he said.</p>
<p>Finnish authorities say about 900 migrants crossed the border from Russia this month, significantly more than normal. It has accused Russia of trying to create a migration crisis in Finland following the Nordic nation’s entry into Nato this year.</p>
<p>Interior minister Mari Rantanen said the last border crossing for vehicle traffic that remains open, Raja-Jooseppi in Finland’s Arctic north, would close at midnight on Wednesday.</p>
<p>A railway crossing between the two countries remains open but for cargo traffic only.</p>
