To offset the loss of infrastructure, Russian telecom providers have opened negotiations with private Finnish telecommunication firms to establish alternative routing options and prevent disruptions to cross-border data flows.
So, this isn't really a refusal to allow web traffic. It's the Finnish grid operator ending a contract that no longer makes financial sense.

More spesficially: They didn't renew the contract. Old agreement had expiration date and they just didn't negotiate a new one. So Fingrid didn't technically cut anything, they just shut down the connection when contract expired, as any other telco around the planet would've done.
