Satellite imagery has revealed an increase in #Russia's military activity near its border, with #Finland signalling its intention to build up its troops by #NATO's eastern flank.

The pictures from earth imaging company Planet Labs #PBC show increased accommodation, aircraft deployment, and infrastructure construction at four military bases near #Finland: #Kamenka on the #Karelian #Isthmus, #Petrozavodsk, #Severomorsk_2, and #Olenya

@MAKS23 should get the #Karelian independence forces to join up in attacking #russian assets on their territory, but I guess they just wait for someone else to give them liberty...

@rvps2001 #Finland may have to think of how to utilize the #Karelian battalion in #Ukraine and how to weaponize those who still are located in the #occupied #KarelianRepublic

Weaponized support for recognize the Treaty of Tartu borders.

#YLE has sent #Karelian news and the program Uudizet karjalakse (News in Karelian) for the past ten years, this has developed the Karelian language with new words, Natalia #Giloeva had to invent many new words to be able to read the news in Karelian. This has also boosted the languages popularity.

My #childhood #friend and her hudband visited me and stayed over two nights. I had such a good time. My friend made me #Karelian #pies this morning. I feel blessed. 🥰🤤 My #cats loved my guests. I have never seen my cats so affectionate. #CatsOfMastodon #caturdayeveryday #suomimastodon #finland #cooking #baking
@KissAnne I think it will get a lot less when #Karelian #Republic gains it's independence.
When my father's aunt was a young adult, she used to wear #feresi as an informal dress. It is a #Karelian costume. #traditions #suomimastodon #finland

Today's dinner is Karelian pirogs. The traditional topping is egg butter, but I prefer a slice of ham and mustard.
