The latest point of confrontation between NATO and Russia is the Svalbard archipelago, located midway between Norway and the North Pole. Moscow claims Oslo is restricting trade with the island’s hundreds of Russian residents.
A top member of the Russian legislature is now calling for Moscow to leave its agreement with Oslo that resolved the territorial dispute over the far-northern archipelago.
In response to this, the Speaker of the State Duma V. Volodin proposed to consider the denunciation of the agreement between Russia and Norway on the delimitation of maritime spaces and cooperation in the Barents Sea from 2010.
