Finland has closed four of its Border Crossings with Russia to try to halt a surge in asylum seekers it says was instigated by Moscow.

Helsinki accused its neighbour of channelling migrants to the crossings in retaliation for it joining Nato.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Finland was making a " big mistake" and destroying bilateral relations.

These points have seen a surge in illegal crossings by citizens of countries including Syria, Yemen and Iraq.

Mr Peskov said: " (One can) only express deep regret that the Finnish authorities have taken The Path of destroying bilateral relations, " Russian State news agency TASS reported.

" Russia has never in Modern History threatened Finland , we had no reason for any confrontation. Now they have chosen this path.

" From our point of view, this is a big mistake. "

Finland 's Prime Minister Petteri Orpo accused Russia of deliberately Helping People without the proper documents to get to The Border .

While confirming the closure of The Four Border Crossings , those at Salla and Vartius in Finland 's Far North would remain open for asylum applications, Mr Orpo said.

One hundred asylum seekers arrived in Finland on Friday, according to border guards.
