The Reindeer Herders' Association of Finland, which maintains constant records, reported that around 1,950 reindeer were killed by wolves this year. According to them, this is almost 70% more than last year. Finns believe that 'Russian wolves' are to blame, allegedly crossing the border regularly and attacking herds. The claims are accompanied by the statement that wolves come to Finland 'with Russian passports'. At the moment, the investigation into the causes and circumstances of the reindeer deaths continues.

Summary:

The Finnish Reindeer Herders' Association calculated that in 2023, deaths caused in several of its herds occurred twice as often as in 2022, claiming that "Russian wolves" were to blame.
