Finland's economy will also have to pay the price of the economic sanctions imposed on Russia, following its attack on Ukraine, Tampere-based Aamulehti reports on Thursday morning.
The figure of that price tag should be clearer by autumn, AL writes.
Sanctions have so far proven to be a relatively effective tool, with Moscow's stock market shutting for three weeks as the value of Russia's currency has collapsed. When and if Western nations cease all oil and gas trading with Russia, it will only be a question of when Putin's country's economy will be in total ruin, the Tampere paper writes.
Despite the sanctions' significant effect on the Finnish economy, they are widely supported nationwide. Not a single survey respondent questioned the sanctions' necessity according to the latest poll by business sector pressure group, the Finland Chamber of Commerce, according to Aamulehti.

IL: Prices are shooting up, but here's what you can do
The combined effect of both the war and the pandemic-induced rising inflation rate will see consumer prices skyrocket, especially food and gas. Tabloid Iltalehti (IL) writes that there are a few things that one can do to keep bills from spiralling out of proportion.
Milk, meat and cereal products as well as food oils, especially sunflower oil, will see a sharp rise in their cost. Natural Resources Institute Finland (Luke) expert Hanna Karikallio told the paper, however, that hoarding is not the wisest option due to its domino effect.
If one's financial situation calls for it, the wisest products to buy in stock at the moment are flour and oils. However, the average packet price of coffee, which has shot up to more than 6 euros, has probably reached its peak increase for now, according to Karikallio.
Better monitoring of prices could significantly help consumers save money, the tabloid adds.
As for petrol, it seems that there are two straightforward options; if you can use your car less, do. On the other hand, if you drive a lot, switching to an electric car may pay off sooner than you realise, IL writes.
Helsinki's Central Station getting a facelift
Several new cafes and restaurants will be opening their doors once the renovation of the western wing of Helsinki Central Station is completed, Helsingin Sanomat (HS) reports.
Commuters will be able to grab breakfast at a picturesque indoor terrace or enjoy Italian food straight from a Neapolitan-style stone oven from next week, according to the largest circulating daily.
The makeover of the western wing is part of a larger renovation project which will also see an updated second floor as well as new public toilets and a lost property office.
"You will no longer have to go and pick up lost items from the Mäkelänkatu lost property office. I also have experience of that, when once the summer heat made me leave my coat on the train," VR project manager Jani Jääskeläinen told HS.
