The cost of constructing a fence in Finland at the Russian border is estimated to run into hundreds of millions of euros and could take around three to four years to be finished.

It's set to be the longest European border stretch between the security alliance and The Russian Federation.

Between 130 and 260 kilometres of partial fencing are to be built along the frontline that's more than 1,300 kilometres long.

Construction of a planned barbed-wired fence along Finland's long border with Russia will start early next year, Finnish border guard officials have announced, amid concerns in the Nordic country over the changing security environment in Europe.

The fence will eventually extend to a maximum of 200 kilometres.

Finland’s 1,340-kilometre border with Russia is the longest of any European Union member.
