Bordertown Kirkenes Terminates Russian Friendship Agreement A unanimous municipal council in Sør-Varanger chose to terminate its cooperation agreement with the Russian friendship city Severomorsk in Murmansk. The city is home to the Russian Northern Fleet and Sør-Varanger has previously been criticized for keeping the agreement after Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Border Municipality Will Not Terminate Russian Friendship City Agreements The border municipality Sør-Varanger in Northern Norway is keeping its friendship agreements with the Russian cities Petsjenga and Severomorsk, but the cooperation will still be on hold. "We do not sanction against the Russian people," says Odne Stunes in the Finnmark Labour Party.
