Earlier, the Norwegian Foreign Ministry said that the agreement on cooperation with Russia in the Barents Sea is not subject to denunciation.
State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin instructed the House Committee on International Affairs to study the issue of denunciation, or suspension, of the treaty between Russia and Norway on the delimitation of maritime spaces and cooperation in the Barents Sea.
