Finland's Spy Service Warns of Russian Interference, Attacks:
Finland must brace for Russian interference and hybrid attacks as it weighs whether to join the NATO military alliance, the security services warned on Tuesday.
The Nordic nation shares a 1,340-kilometre (830-mile) border with Russia and has remained militarily non-aligned since the end of World War II to avoid provoking its eastern neighbour.
[...] "The whole of Finnish society must be vigilant towards Russian attempts to influence Finnish decision-making regarding the NATO question," Antti Pelttari, head of the Finnish security services Supo, said.
Releasing its updated terrorism threat report, Supo on Tuesday highlighted the danger of "widespread Russian interference and illegal surveillance," but kept the national terror threat at level two, or "elevated", on a scale of four.
[...] Finland has previously been subject to so-called hybrid tactics from Moscow, such as repeated airspace incursions, or the release in 2016 of 1,700 migrants across the Finnish border.
Earlier this month the transport authority Traficom said it had received "numerous" reports from aircraft of GPS interference in eastern Finland, but was unable to identify the source of the interference.

I hate to say it, but you are falling for a standard troll tactic. They provide a kernel of truth to obfuscate the lie. If you want to know what Ukraine thought about being part of the USSR, then you should really look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1991_Ukrainian_independence_referendum [wikipedia.org] But that obviously paints a completely different picture of what the Ukrainian people wanted.

This article is 100% fake. You can easily see it as there are no links to the official results of the vote.
This one does have such a link. Feel free to research it yourself
