A 1956 agreement that allowed British boats to fish in the Barents Sea has been ripped up, in the latest sign of growing tensions between Moscow and the West.
The fishing deal was signed by Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev, but Russian politicians have now claimed it was never in the national interest.
…
Russia’s parliamentary speaker Vyacheslav Volodin said: “The British need to study some proverbs - ‘Russians harness the horse slowly, but ride it fast’.”
He told politicians that “the unscrupulous British” had eaten Russian fish for 68 years - declaring: “Now let them lose weight, get smarter.”

seasonal considerations
A nice way of saying with warmer climates weather becomes more intense and less predictable.
The artic north sea route also isn’t what prevents them from using the port the entire year. It freezes, it will continue to freeze especially with the harsher cold snaps the globe faces.
Again you don’t seem to understand climate change it is not “lol planet gets hot teehee”
When you have a deep understanding of the issue
No, the likely scenario is that maximal ice coverage will (continue to) recede noticeably.
Lol okay you’re right Russia is immune to climate change. St. Petersburg definitely isn’t having flooding issues and Vladivostok didn’t get smashed by a freak ice storm that other places across the globe have also been smashed by
None of that happened I guess climate change isn’t a problem
We’re talking about ports icing over, which will happen less as global temperatures rise. Bringing up other climate change problems (that are far from unique to Russia) does not change that.
you know westoids get flooded way worse than russia right
their most populous area is literally 10 ft above sea level, for the entire country
Also like, Britain is islands and Russia is the largest country in the world. Who do you think is better equipped to handle rising sea levels? I know which has a LOOOOOT more inland.
Russia faces more flooding than the UK because of thawing snow and ice you dummy.
You don’t even know the country you’re trying to defend. Learn geography moron
Okay? St Petersburg has an issue with flooding. I don’t know what you’re trying to convince me of lmfao it’s just the truth.
It is also the truth that Vladivostok got hit by a freak ice storm and their port freezes about 4 months out of the year.
Russia has always had struggles with ports. Climate change won’t save them and will actively harm them like everyone else. Climate change also is not flat warming, that’s what stupid people believe.
Why are you so insecure about those facts??
and Europe has a much bigger problem with flooding. Lemme just recap the tantrum:
Yes, but some areas get hurt worse by climate change. Yes, it’s not flat warming all at once. However both of these things fuck Europe over more than Russia. The AMOC gulf stream keeps Europe warm, not Russia. The entire Mediterranean is also going to be hurt particularly bad by droughts and wildfires. So that’s a ton more refugees, not only from outside Europe but even from Southern Europe.
These problems simply do not exist for Russia, and its population density is far lower, and it will gain continents’ more arable/habitable land as the climate warms, AND it will also receive more rainfall. It is not even close to a contest to say that Russia benefits more from climate change than any other nation on earth. If you don’t think so, then post even one climate-induced problem that’s unique to Russia (you can’t)
that’s absolutely not what happened lmfao
go defend russia with your body sis
I literally don’t care about Russia. Also get your tenses right, none of this shit happened yet. But 50 different climate models predict it to
