'HELSINKI, Oct 23 (Reuters) - Finland is experiencing suspicious acts of
sabotage and disruption and believes Russia is engaged in broad-ranging
influence operations against it and other European countries, Finland's
Minister of Interior Lulu Ranne said.
NATO and Western intelligence services, including Finland's, have warned that
Russia is behind a growing number of hostile activities across the
Euro-Atlantic area, ranging from repeated cyber attacks to Moscow-linked arson
- all of which Russia denies.
"We are experiencing disruptions, acts of sabotage, various types of damage,
and instrumentalised migration, among other things. This creates a general
sense of uncertainty and vagueness about what is true and what is not," Ranne
told reporters.
She said investigations into many of the cases were ongoing.
"However, based on the information from both civilian and military
intelligence, we have clear indications pointing to Russia," she said, adding
the link was most evident in GPS interference Finland has witnessed in its
maritime and air traffic.
"Currently, Russia is the main entity engaging in broad-ranging influence
operations against us," she said.'
