Russia has addded Norway to its list of countries that have committed "unfriendly" acts against Russian diplomatic and consular missions abroad. The Russian government on August 3 said that under the conditions, Norway's diplomatic mission in Russia can hire only 27 people. The list of almost 50 countries includes the United States, Czech Republic, Croatia, Denmark, Greece, Slovenia, and Slovakia. Moscow created the list in the spring of 2022 after sanctions were imposed against it over the invasion. To see the original story by Current Time, click here.
