In the afternoon, Finland received a diplomatic note from Russia demanding a ban on demonstrations, following earlier reports of a Ukrainian drone factory in Finland that MV-lehti claimed provoked Moscow. Concurrently, the coalition's infighting intensified, with Ilta-Sanomat reporting a bitter war of words between Kokoomus and perussuomalaiset, and PM Orpo expressing frustration over 'outbursts'. The morning saw rumors of Russian mobilization, prompting experts to advise Finland to prepare.
