And isn't the border between Russia and Finland something like 1300km long? Good luck covering all that even if the majority of the Russian army weren't needed in Ukraine or, you know, dead.

And the funny thing is, the russian nuclear submarines are based in murmansk, which land resupply route could be cut by a finish advance anywhere along the border. So, russia really has to protect this border in case of a conflict with nato.
