Why can't I price out a fare for SVO-KAJ-HEL?

I'm planning a possible itinerary in July. The part that I'm concerned now is GVA - KAJ / KUO - HEL.

As I may not be able to catch the direct GVA - HEL flight, I am considering going thru SVO to HEL, and trying out various combinations of tickets.

A round trip ticket from HEL to KAJ / KUO is much cheaper than a one way ticket, so I would like to buy a round trip ticket. However, if I add an SVO - HEL segment before that, nothing can be found anywhere including ITA matrix even it meets MCT requirement.

In short: SVO X/HEL KAJ priceable as one way
HEL KAJ HEL priceable as round trip
KAJ HEL priceable as one way
SVO X/HEL KAJ HEL can't be priced at all.

My next destination after HEL is IST on TK so it is a separate ticket, and my AY ticket must end at HEL.

Why can't SVO X/HEL KAJ HEL be priced on a single ticket?

Try SVO-HEL-KAJ-HEL-SVO with an overnight transit on the way back and throw away the last segment?

Open-jaw and, in this case, reverse open-jaw fares are typically restricted by country/region.

Finnair treats Finland as one such region. So you cannot combine domestic fares with non-domestic fares.

Could also try LED, and probably TLL/RIX/VNO too to see which one yields the lowest fare.
