Objectives:
This study aims to understand the frameworks of Russia's hybrid maneuvers , specifically the strategic use of migration, on Finland's security, as well as that of the European Union (EU) and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The focus is on examining how migration is used by Russia as a geopolitical tool to influence the security landscape of these regions.

Methods:
Employing a case study methodology, the analysis draws upon a diverse range of data sources and scholarly literature. It scrutinises Russia's tactical approaches towards Finland and other countries situated on NATO's eastern flank, shedding light on the broader implications for regional stability and security.

Results:
The findings underscore Russia's deployment of migration as a geopolitical lever, exerting significant pressure on national security frameworks. In response, Finland has strengthened its defence mechanisms and sought to enhance international cooperation to effectively counteract these challenges.

Conclusions:
After joining NATO, Finland plays a key role in ensuring the security of the northern flank. Due to its location, this country is compelled to respond in real time to all possible threats that come with the direct proximity of the Russian Federation. Consequently, Finland is, in a sense, a frontline state and other countries should draw from its experience.
