Fears that Russia will invade other European countries have been heightened after a senior researcher with the Finnish Institute of International Affairs accused the Kremlin of attempting to use anti-Russian sentiment to justify its war on Ukraine.
The Russian embassy in Helsinki has reportedly urged Russian citizens living in Finland to report any incidents of suspected discrimination, hate speech or violation of civil rights to them, reports Yle News.
The appeal for information was made through the embassy's social media accounts.
