Finland will reportedly extend the closure of its border crossings with Russia which had been set to re-open next week.
Borders were closed late last year after a growing number of asylum seekers began entering Finland.
This is the second time the Nordic country has shut its 1,300-kilometre border with Russia.
The country has accused Moscow of ushering asylum seekers to its border in an orchestrated move.
Last year, Helsinki claimed the Kremlin was sending asylum seekers to the border in retaliation to the country's increased military cooperation with the US and NATO.
