The Finnish name for their own country is Suomi which, if you already knew it, would help you guess the right answer. Fascinating relationship between Finland and Russia throughout history

Legend has it that the huge number of Russians was first spotted by Finnish border guards The first said “ Oh God , look at all those Russians!!” The second replied “Yeah, where are we going to bury them all?”

nancy, sounds like the usual reason -- a land grab for resources. If Russia would embrace trade over warfare Ukraine would be a peaceful country today.
