The Russian embassy in Oslo stated that relations between Russia and Norway have reached a new post-war low. According to the diplomatic mission, the Russian side is concerned about Norway's change in security course.
Relations between the countries have deteriorated against the backdrop of geopolitical tensions in Europe. Norway, as a NATO member, is strengthening its defensive capacity and reorienting its foreign policy.
Russia has stated that relations with Norway have fallen to a historic minimum since World War II. Moscow is concerned about the strengthening of NATO's military presence in the Arctic near Russian borders.
The escalation of Russian-Norwegian relations may affect cooperation in fishing and Arctic projects, on which the economy of the north depends. The intensification of NATO military activity in the region could lead to new sanctions and further isolation of Russian business in the Arctic Ocean.
