Russia announced plans earlier this month that it was withdrawing consent for the operation of Finland's Consulate General in St Petersburg.

Quid pro quo. Not sure this is the development I had hoped to see, but it is understandable.

Would be funny if Åland remains open for diplomacy and gets to be the ones catering the aftermath when Russia crumbles.
- Russia still get to maintain their main embassy at capital Helsinki. Just as Finland still has it's main Moscow embassy.
Now we just have to drive them out of Åland/Ahvenanmaa
