Is it something like what Lukashenko attempted to do to Poland by bringing in people from Syria after EU sanctioned him?
Not that there were any doubts, but now we know for sure that he didn't come up with it on his own.

Reuters has an update:

'Finland on Tuesday accused Russia of funnelling asylum-seekers to its border and said it will take the necessary action to prevent a mass inflow of people and protect its national security.

Prime Minister Petteri Orpo told a press conference that Russia had changed its practice by allowing people access to the border without required travel documents.'
