Norway detains Russian ship without notice
The article addressed the issue of the detention of the Russian research vessel "Professor Molchanov" by Norway in the Svalbard archipelago. The Norwegian court detained the vessel without prior notice to Russia, an action Moscow considered as acts of state terrorism. Russia responded by recalling its ambassador to Norway and affirmed that it would appeal the decision. Moscow also called on Oslo to adhere to the Svalbard Treaty. Russian officials blamed Norway for the incident, while stating that the operations of the company "ArcticGold" would not be affected by the Norwegian measures. The European Union welcomed the detention of oil tankers whom Moscow considers part of its "shadow fleet." Russia, on the other hand, described the move as a serious escalation threatening bilateral relations, amid ongoing tensions over sovereignty and rights to research and exploration in the polar region.
