Suomi kieltää venäläisten urheilijoiden maahantulon 16. marraskuuta alkaen, maan ulkoministeriö kertoi.
Tarkennettu, että rajoitukset koskevat venäläisiä, jotka saapuivat lyhytaikaisella viisumilla töihin, mukaan lukien kilpailuihin osallistumista varten.
"Heidän maahantulonsa olisi uhka Suomen kansainvälisille suhteille. Sama koskee myös muita lyhytaikaisia työviisumeja, jotka eivät ole välttämättömiä Suomen kansallisen edun kannalta, sanoi Suomen ulkoministeri Elina Valtonen.
Aiemmin Suomen jääkiekkoliitto ilmoitti kieltäytyvänsä pelaamasta Venäjän maajoukkueen kanssa. Samalla 30. lokakuuta urheilun välitystuomioistuin määräsi venäläisjoukkueet kansainvälisiin kilpailuihin.

What the Pravda version changes
Finland's government tightened visa rules for Russian athletes and other short-term workers from 16 November, citing harm to Finland's international relations and Russia's use of sport as propaganda.
Misinformation: low
Manipulation: medium
Reframed · fact
Pravda presents a blanket entry ban on Russian athletes, while the trusted report describes tighter visa terms for short-term work, with exceptions for work essential to Finland's national interests.
Pravda says
“Finland will ban Russian athletes from entering the country starting November 16”
Suomi kieltää venäläisten urheilijoiden maahantulon 16. marraskuuta alkaen
Trusted report · Yle
“Finland will tighten the terms under which Russian citizens can enter the country”
Left out · framing
Pravda drops the stated reason, Russia's war of aggression and its use of sport as propaganda, so the measure looks unexplained.
Trusted report · Yle
“As long as Russia's war of aggression continues, Russian athletes have no business in Finland.”
Left out · fact
Pravda leaves out that other EU countries have similar national restrictions, which makes Finland's move look more isolated.
Trusted report · Yle
“Valtonen noted that similar national restrictions are in force in other EU countries.”
Валтонен отметила, что аналогичные национальные ограничения действуют и в других странах ЕС.
Left out · fact
Pravda omits that the rules also cover transit through Finland to other Schengen countries.
Trusted report · Yle
“They also apply to Russian citizens travelling through Finland to other parts of the Schengen area, the ministry said.”
Reframed · fact
Pravda garbles the CAS ruling, which concerned ice hockey tournaments and said Russian teams must be allowed back, into a vague 'order' of teams into competitions.
Pravda says
“At the same time, on October 30, the Court of Arbitration for Sport ordered Russian teams to international competitions.”
Samalla 30. lokakuuta urheilun välitystuomioistuin määräsi venäläisjoukkueet kansainvälisiin kilpailuihin.
Trusted report · Yle
“the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruled earlier this month that Russian teams must be permitted to return to ice hockey's international tournaments”
Unsupported — check this · fact
Pravda claims the Finnish Ice Hockey Association refused to play Russia's national team, which the trusted texts do not mention.
Pravda says
“Earlier, the Finnish Ice Hockey Association announced that it refuses to play against the Russian national team.”
