- ErikBjare 2y agoIt's not the same. Storage conditions matter.
- lb1lf 2y agoThat is true, but given the current level of trust between Russian and 'Western' authorities, would it not be prudent to assume the vessel is indeed a threat and keep it away from infrastructure and the general population if at all possible? In the case of Arctic Norway, there are plenty of unpopulated, sheltered fjords. No need to dock it in a commercial port in an urban area.
- Lio 2y ago> Storage conditions matter. …only if it hasn’t been deliberately sabotaged. It’s had opportunities to return to Russian ports and just sailed right by them. Why is it desperate to dock in a Western port?
