In 2023, Russia left the region’s Barents Council, saying that its activities were paralyzed “because of the sin of western participants.”
Russia has officially withdrawn from cooperation agreements with the Barents region including Norway, Finland and Sweden. On Friday, April 18, Tass reported.
“The Russian government has decided to stop participating in international agreements with Norway, Finland and Sweden in contact with the Barents/Euroarctic region,” the report said.
The corresponding document was signed by Prime Minister of Russian Federation Mikhail Mishustin.
Thus, the 2007 Barents Secretariat creation agreement, signed in Rovaniemi, was canceled. In addition, Moscow also left the 2008 agreement with Denmark, Iceland, Norway, Finland and Sweden regarding cooperation in the field of emergency response.
Earlier it was reported that Estonia was detained on Friday morning by Kalan Oil Tanker – a ship from Russia’s “Shadow Fleet”, which was engaged in exporting raw oil and oil products to third countries.
Russian dictator Vladimir Putin said Russia would defend its interests in the Arctic and send its military.
