Russia

The Norwegian government has joined the sanctions imposed against the Russian Federation by the countries of the European Union.

Ukrainians will never forget the morning of February 24th. Russia started a war against Ukraine. However, the Russian authorities on that day were hardly aware of the consequences for their own country.

Russian businessman Alexander Konanykhin has announced a $1 million reward for the “head” of Vladimir Putin. 

One of the areas of the Black Sea, blocked by the Russian Federation for the exercises, was opened for navigation.

The Verkhovna Rada (Parliament of Ukraine) appealed to a number of international organizations and the authorities of the partner states in connection with the escalation by the Russian Federation of the “security situation around Ukraine”.

The Russian Federation blocks eight areas in the Black Sea for conducting exercises of the Armed Forces of Russian Federation with missile and gunnery firing.

The reaction of Ukraine alone is not enough to the threat of blocking the Black and Azov Seas. The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry believes that support from international partners is needed.

The Russian fleet has canceled military exercises that could have blocked part of the Azov Sea.

The actions of the Navy of the Russian Federation in the Black and Azov Seas are reminiscent of the preparation of a “sea blockade” of Ukrainian ports.

Ukraine and the European Union will act together in response to the growing threats to security and stability in the Black Sea region.
