The Russian government ordered the temporary closure on June 30, effective July
1, of multiple rail border crossings with Latvia, Finland and Estonia, according
to a document posted on Russia’s official legal portal. The closures include the
St. Petersburg–Finland and Vyborg rail crossings and three additional
Russia–Finland crossings, plus one Russia–Estonia and one Russia–Latvia rail
