The Finnish government wants to ban Russians from buying property in Finland, the Nordic country’s Defense Minister Antti Hakkanen said on Monday.

“Today we’re sending out for consultations a proposal that aims to ban property transactions that have a Russian background,” Hakkanen told a press conference.

The ban would however come with exemptions, Hakkanen added, saying dual citizens and Russians with permanent residence in Finland could still buy property in the Nordic country.
