What happened

Russia does not rule out additional retaliatory measures against Norway in the fisheries sector, Russian Ambassador to Oslo Nikolay Korchunov told TASS in an interview.

Why it matters

"In response to Norwegian restrictions, the Russian side suspended its participation in several working groups of the Joint Russian-Norwegian Fisheries Commission in December 2025, which is causing serious concern in Oslo.

Common ground

We do not rule out the possibility of taking additional retaliatory measures," he said.
