Norway joins the EU’s sanctions against Russia
The case is being updated.
– Norway has close contact with allies and partners, including the EU. We will contribute to a comprehensive and unified response to Russia’s actions. Norway has joined all the sanctions the EU has introduced as a result of Russia’s illegal actions in Ukraine, says Foreign Minister Anniken Huitfeldt (Labor) to and Visa.
Earlier Monday night, Huitfeldt said that Norway condemned the Russian decision to recognize the self-proclaimed “people’s republics” in Luhansk and Donetsk.
– The decision is another violation of Ukraine’s sovereignty, she said in a written statement to NTB.
Huitfeldt further said that Norway consistently supports Ukraine’s independence and territorial integrity within internationally recognized borders.
– Norway supports an emergency meeting on the situation in the UN Security Council, she says.
