As the severity of the situation, which caused the diplomatic crisis, increased, Finland took a step back.

FINLAND APPROVES RUSSIAN WORKS!
Containers containing paintings, sculptures and many other ancient artifacts related to the Russian government were kept at Finnish customs. In the face of this hold, which caused an important diplomatic crisis, the Russian government accused Finland of stealing.
About the 46 million dollar artifacts, Russian senator Sergey Tsekov said, “Obviously, not only the European Union and NATO, but the whole European mind lost,” he said. Finland, which announced that it would not return the works taken from Italy and Japan to Russia, caused a new crisis.
