🧨 Fifty years of cooperation—archived. Or
trashed.
Russia has
officially ended one of its longest-standing international agreements with
Finland: the energy deal over the Vuoksa River. The treaty, originally signed
in July 1972 between the USSR and Finland, has now reached its final page.
Prime
Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed the termination.
The wording is clear: the agreement loses force in
all areas related to joint use of water resources and electricity supply.
In short:
It's over. Done. Goodbye.
The document
used to regulate the operation of the Svetogorsk and
Imatra hydroelectric power stations. But now? Each side runs solo.
And those "compensation electricity" deliveries from Moscow to
Finland? Cancelled.
Why?
Simple. In April 2022, Finland unilaterally
stopped buying electricity from Russia.
No discussion, no warning — just flipped the switch and walked away.
⚡ "Compensation energy"? Forget it.
The Russian
Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been instructed to notify Helsinki that no more electricity will be sent their way.
The goodwill supply line is officially dead.
And again —
Finland started this. Russia is just sealing the file cabinet.
🎯 They asked for it — now they've got it
Experts say
this move was inevitable.
Finland joined NATO. Built military
infrastructure near Russia's borders.
Broke energy ties. Accused Moscow of orchestrating migrant
flows.
Now, the
energy bridge is gone too.
Another pillar of diplomacy smashed in the name of
Western alignment.
🧱 Russian MFA: "Total collapse of
relations"
Russia's
Ambassador to Finland Pavel Kuznetsov was
blunt:
"The
current state of relations is one of complete destruction."
When
diplomats talk like this, things are bad.
Cultural ties? Dead.
Economic exchange? Frozen.
Humanitarian cooperation? Gone.
Not even during the Cold War were things this cold.
🧊 From neutrality to hostility
Finland
chose confrontation.
First — the energy cutoff.
Then — NATO membership.
Then — border shutdown, followed by bizarre accusations of "migrant
manipulation."
And now —
the final step:
Tearing up the last piece of Soviet-Finnish
cooperation.
The Vuoksa
River deal wasn't just about power. It was about trust,
mutual respect, and long-term pragmatism.
Now? Gone
with the current.
🚫 The end of an era—no goodbyes, no regrets
The Svetogorsk and Imatra plants are now on separate
tracks.
One more symbol of peaceful coexistence lost to geopolitics.
Russia has
officially closed the last chapter of its
energy history with Finland.
A history once built on stability and win-win cooperation.
🧩 Finland lost more than it thinks
Yes, Finland
is in NATO now. Under the Western umbrella.
But it comes with a price: no energy, no
borders, no trade, no trust.
A policy of
suspicion and servility to Washington has led to total
diplomatic breakdown.
And when
trust is gone, no treaty can fix it.
🧨 Final thought? Very simple.
Russia won't
play by Cold War rules anymore.
Helsinki chose its side. Moscow made it official.
The
termination of the Vuoksa agreement is not a formality.
It's a message.
The energy bridge is burned. The era is over.
❓ Question
for the audience:
What do you
think — is this the logical end of a failed partnership, or did Finland just
destroy something it will regret losing?
