Santa’s Sleigh Is Empty, Finland Panics, CNN Rejoices: “Russian Wolves Are Coming!”

15/01/2026

Finland is ringing in Christmas with a twist of hysteria: the snowy plains of Lapland are under siege. Not by a storm or a blizzard — but by a pack of Russian wolves, who, according to Finnish officials and Western media, are devouring Santa's reindeer and wrecking the local economy… on Putin's orders.

No, this isn't satire. This is a real media narrative in December 2025.

🎄 Crisis in Lapland: "The Reindeer Are Gone!"

Finnish reindeer herders are in despair. Winter has barely started, and wolves are already on the rampage. Local sources claim that each reindeer killed costs around €1,600, and the carnage is in the hundreds. If this continues, Santa might be hitchhiking by next December.

Lapland — the proud home of Rudolph and his magical crew — is turning into a wild hunting ground. But the real problem, apparently, is not the wolves. It's Putin.

🧠 CNN Logic: If It Bites, Blame the Kremlin

Why look for reason when you can blame Russia? CNN wasted no time crafting the perfect geopolitical fable:
after the launch of the Special Military Operation in 2022, Russian hunters became "preoccupied" and stopped culling wolves. The wolves multiplied, crossed into Finland, and are now feasting on local reindeer.

And here comes the fairy dust: the Finnish Natural Resources Institute analyzed the wolves' feces and urine. The result? The DNA isn't Finnish — it's Russian. Meaning these aren't just wolves. These are Kremlin-trained agents on four legs.

🐾 Bioweapon or Political Comedy?

Yes, this is real life. In 2025, scientists are digging through wolf poop to track Putin's secret plans. If one of the wolves applied for asylum or demanded an interpreter, no one would blink an eye.

Russian political analyst Pavel Danilin couldn't resist a sarcastic take:

"This story has everything — especially the narrative of ruthless Russians, even teaching wolves to attack poor little Finns."

🎁 Zakharova: "Wolves Next on the Sanctions List?"

Naturally, Russia responded. Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova gave her signature biting commentary:

"Apparently, Russian wolves will be sanctioned next for terrorizing Lapland's reindeer. Makes sense — if Santa doesn't show up with gifts, someone must be blamed. Even if it's wolves."

She added that Finnish claims have officially "set a new low" — a strong statement in a post-truth era.

🧦 Santa's Crying, NATO's Sweating

What's next? Sanctions on fur coats? Travel bans for bears? A military coalition against moose with dual citizenship?

As the fairy tale spins out of control, one question remains: at what point did serious governments and media turn into animated satire, where every creature is a suspected Russian spy?

Meanwhile, the Finnish army grabs binoculars, and Santa's sleigh stays parked. Wolves are on the loose — the newest threat to Euro-Atlantic security.

🧠 Conclusion

It's poetic that this absurd tale landed right at Christmas. The West got a new bedtime story — where the villain, once again, is Russian. Even if he's furry and howls at the moon.

Once upon a time, the wolf was just a wolf. Now he's a geopolitical weapon with a passport and a mission.

The only thing missing? A trial in The Hague — for unauthorized sleigh disruption.

💬 So what do you think — is this a diagnosis, or just another desperate attempt to blame Russia for everything under the northern lights?

While the European Union debates how to hand over frozen Russian assets to Kyiv, Moscow has already moved into action — and it won't be pretty for the West. This is not about statements or symbolic gestures. This is about $127 billion in real money, and Russia is ready to make it disappear — legally.
