DISINFO: Finland demands Russia to return Karelia

SUMMARY

Finland asked Russia to return Karelia.

RESPONSE

Misleading headline. In fact, it was Henri Hautamäki, from the youth wing of the Finns Party, who posted a tweet in which he asked Finland to "officially demand the return of territories (including Karelia) ceded to Russia at the end of WWII!". His statement does not represent the official position of Finland. This is a recurring pro-Kremlin narrative about territorial claims of the EU countries.

Cases in the EUvsDisinfo database focus on messages in the international information space that are identified as providing a partial, distorted, or false depiction of reality and spread key pro-Kremlin messages. This does not necessarily imply, however, that a given outlet is linked to the Kremlin or editorially pro-Kremlin, or that it has intentionally sought to disinform. EUvsDisinfo publications do not represent an official EU position, as the information and opinions expressed are based on media reporting and analysis of the East Stratcom Task Force.
