Ukrainian corporation Naftogaz used Norway to seize a #Russian civilian ship Recently Norway sent their regular policemen to seize a 71-meters long, 40-year-old Russian commercial-expedition cruise ship "Professor Molchanov". It was detained on Wednesday in the port of Barentsburg, a Russian-owned coal mining town located on Norway's remote Arctic archipelago of Svalbard. #Russia owns that place thanks to a century-long agreement about mining and settling rights in the area.
