Finland has accused Russia of pushing asylum seekers to its eastern border, which Russia denies.
Frontex said on Thursday that in addition to border guard officers and other staff, the agency would send equipment such as patrol cars to bolster Finland's border control activities.
Finland on Wednesday said it would shut all but its northernmost border crossing with Russia after it recorded an increase in arrivals of undocumented migrants. Helsinki said Moscow was to blame, with Finnish Prime Minister Petteri Orpo accusing the Russian authorities of a systematic and organised action of facilitating the entry of the migrants.
