Russia has given Norway one month to reverse the decision to ban two Russian ships from Norwegian waters.^[This is presumably referring to what happened on July 7, 2025. Statement from the Norwegian government: https://www.regjeringen.no/en/aktuelt/norway-aligns-with-eus-listing-of-two-russian-shipping-companies/id3114560/ (in English)] This story was first covered in Norway by Fiskeribladet.^[A newspaper for the fishing industry.]
—"If the Norwegian side does not reconsider its position within one month, Russia will close its exclusive economic zone for Norwegian fishing vessels," the leader of the Federal Agency for Fishery, Ilya Shestakov, said to Russia's state-owned news agency TASS.
The news agency describes Norway's sanctions against the two Russian vessels as a "serious violation" of the agreements between Norway and Russia. Russia is also threatening to set its own quotas in the open navigable waters of the Barents Sea and Norwegian Sea.
—"Fishing and the distribution of fishing quotas in the open waters of the Barents Sea and Norwegian Sea will be carried out based on Russian national interests," Shestakov continued, according to TASS.
Norway and Russia have a fishing agreement which regulates fishing in open waters between the two countries, with shared fishing quotas, among other things.
