    Does such a fence actually help with a neighbour like Russia?

    As @iconoclast@feddit.uk wrote:

    It wasn’t built to stop russians [i.e. a military invasion] but migrants. Instrumentalised migration is the legal term I believe.

    See what happened on Poland's & the Baltics' borders a while ago. Many believe the more recent happenings in Ceuta fall in the same category.

    Hybrid warfare. Detabilisation is the goal.

    I just want to add that nobody expects this to stop a military invasion.

    Finland has a very capable military as well and it's been deployed along its Eastern border for the longest time.
