Foreign Ministry of Finland suspended the work of the consulate in Petrozavodsk
The Finnish Ministry of Foreign Affairs suspended the work of the consulate in Petrozavodsk, according to the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. As the department clarifies, Finland does not need to support the department in Petrozavodsk, since "a significant reduction has occurred in its main functions." The Foreign Ministry admits that in the future the work of the consulate will be resumed. In January 2023, for a similar reason, the consulate department in Murmansk was closed.
