Navă rusă, sechestrată de Norvegia în Arctica la cererea Ucrainei. „O nouă etapă importantă spre restabilirea justiției”

Norwegian authorities seized a Russian ship in the Arctic at Ukraine's request, aiming to enforce a ruling for compensation to Naftogaz. The vessel, "Professor Molchanov," was seized to ensure Russia pays approximately $4.22 billion for illegally confiscated assets after Crimea's annexation. Naftogaz's interim CEO emphasized the importance of this action in restoring justice. The seizure was ordered by a Norwegian court to secure payment of debts, including interest and costs. The ship is currently anchored in Barentsburg, and local police confirmed the seizure. In a related incident, the Ukrainian navy reportedly struck a Russian patrol vessel, resulting in casualties, though details remain unverified.
