Finland to disconnect fiber-optic link to Russia as lease expires

Finland will disconnect a fiber-optic telecommunications link to Russia when its lease expires at the end of the year, following the country's earlier suspension of power transmissions with Russia at the start of the Ukraine war.

Why it matters: Organizations relying on Finnish-Russian telecommunications infrastructure need to plan for service termination and identify alternative connectivity routes before year-end.
