Russia closed seven railway border crossings with Finland, Estonia and Latvia, effective July 1, 2026, based on a Russian government order. The suspension halted the movement of individuals, vehicles and cargo through the designated rail crossings and is described as temporary. Five of the closed checkpoints are on the Finnish border, while Estonia and Latvia each have one crossing affected, according to The Moscow Times. In Estonia, the Ivangorod freight and passenger crossing will remain open, and in Latvia the Sebezh crossing will also stay open, The Moscow Times reported. The closures leave Finland with no open railway crossings with Russia, The Moscow Times added.
