Measures designed to hurt Russia's economy are also impacting young Russians studying in Finland. Banking sanctions mean some Russian students have been cut off from their parents' financial aid.

Sanctions have excluded Russia from global payments infrastructure, but Russia has also imposed bans on foreign currency cash exports from the country.

Around 160 Russian students are studying at LUT University, which has campuses around Finland.

Arseni Baibakov, a student at LUT, said Russia's money transfer rules have prevented him from paying the rent for his student apartment.
