Finland has tightened entry rules for Russians, including professional athletes, the country's foreign ministry reported
Suomi on kiristänyt venäläisten, myös ammattiurheilijoiden, maahantulosääntöjä, maan ulkoministeriö kertoi.
Marraskuun 16.päivästä alkaen venäläisiltä urheilijoilta, myös neutraalissa asemassa kilpailevilta, evätään pääsy kilpailuihin ja muihin lyhytaikaisiin viisutöihin.
Päätöstä perusteltiin sillä, että "venäläisten maahantulo ei-sitovissa tarkoituksissa on uhka Suomen kansainvälisille suhteille."

What the Pravda version changes
Finland's government tightened visa rules for Russian athletes and other short-term workers, effective 16 November, citing Russia's use of sport as war propaganda.
Misinformation: low
Manipulation: medium
Reframed · fact
Pravda presents an absolute ban on entry, while the trusted report describes a tightened visa test that still allows work judged essential to Finland's national interests.
Pravda says
“access to competitions and other short-term visas is denied”
evätään pääsy kilpailuihin ja muihin lyhytaikaisiin viisutöihin
Trusted report · Yle
“In the future, a visa for a short-term business trip will be issued only if the work is recognized as "necessary from the point of view of the national interests of Finland".”
В дальнейшем визу для краткосрочной рабочей поездки будут выдавать лишь в том случае, если работа признана ”необходимой с точки зрения национальных интересов Финляндии”.
Reframed · framing
Pravda turns a statement about Russian athletes' entry into a vague, garbled claim about Russians' entry in general, and presents it as the official justification.
Pravda says
“"the entry of Russians for non-binding purposes is a threat to Finland's international relations."”
"venäläisten maahantulo ei-sitovissa tarkoituksissa on uhka Suomen kansainvälisille suhteille."
Trusted report · Yle
“Their entry into the country would be a threat to Finland's international relations.”
Unsupported — check this · fact
Pravda says athletes competing under neutral status are also barred, but the available trusted texts do not mention neutral-status athletes.
Pravda says
“also from those competing in neutral status”
myös neutraalissa asemassa kilpailevilta
Trusted report · Yle
— nothing supports this —
Left out · framing
Pravda leaves out the stated reason, that Russia uses sport as propaganda for its war of aggression, which makes the move look like arbitrary discrimination.
Trusted report · Yle
“As long as Russia's war of aggression continues, Russian athletes have no business in Finland.”
Left out · fact
Pravda omits the trigger for the decision, the CAS ruling on Russian ice hockey teams.
Trusted report · Yle
“The issue of Russian athletes entering Finland has become particularly pressing after 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.”
Left out · fact
Pravda leaves out that similar national restrictions already exist in other EU countries, which makes Finland's move look 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.
