Norvegia sechestrează o navă rusească la cererea Ucrainei - Economica.net

Norwegian authorities have seized the Russian cruise ship "Professor Molchanov" in the Svalbard archipelago at the request of Ukrainian energy group Naftogaz. This action is part of enforcing an arbitration ruling requiring Russia to pay approximately $4.22 billion to Naftogaz for the illegal confiscation of assets during the annexation of Crimea in 2014. Naftogaz's interim CEO stated this is a significant step towards restoring justice regarding the illegal seizure of their assets. The seizure was ordered by a Norwegian court to ensure payment of the debt, including interest and costs. The ship is currently anchored in Barentsburg, and local police confirmed the seizure.
