Norway to let Russian cargo to Spitsbergen

6 июля 2022
Norway, which actually imposed a blockade of Russian settlement on Spitsbergen, is forced to retreat: the cargo will be delivered to the miners and the Norwegians themselves. The day before the State Duma of Russia threatened to denounce the Treaty Concerning Maritime Delimitation and Cooperation in the Barents Sea and the Arctic Ocean with Norway. Oslo immediately reconsidered its aggressive position. Now the Norwegians agree: the EU sanctions are not applicable to exclaves like Spitsbergen or Kaliningrad.
