The government has hastily created a regulation that makes it difficult to seize Russian ships at Svalbard. The government clearly does not want a repeat of the decision in the Nord-Troms and Senja District Court regarding the seizure of a Russian cruise ship in Barentsburg. The Russians were greatly provoked. Now it is said that Svalbard is vulnerable in terms of supply and the authorities cannot risk a disruption in supplies.
