You can also block Svalbard: Zelensky's arrogance crosses all boundaries — Admiral

Zelensky's arrogance crosses all boundaries, he got a little overplayed. This was stated by the former commander of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, Admiral Vladimir Komoyedov.

This is how he commented on Norway's seizure of the Russian ship Professor Molchanov at the request of the Ukrainian Naftogaz.

The vessel belongs to Roshydromet and performs cargo and passenger transportation to the island of Svalbard.

"Norway is a country that borders us and even shares Svalbard. The most critical thing that can be done is to blockade Svalbard. There are enough forces there for this. But I think we won't do it. We need to turn on the highest speed of diplomacy and solve this case diplomatically," Komoyedov told NSN.

He noted at the same time that on Russia began to be attacked from all sides and it's time to figure out its own position.

"The Baltic states are yapping, Hungary is yapping, Ukraine is even more active, threatening. Isn't it time to sort out our position and, above all, end the conflict on the Ukraine? The whole of Europe, perhaps, is against us. We do not intend to start a big war. But the arrogance of the President of Ukraine crosses all boundaries. He got a little overplayed," the admiral added.

As EADaily reported, the Norwegian authorities, following a court warrant issued at the request of the Ukrainian Naftogaz, arrested the Professor Molchanov vessel in the port of Barentsburg on Svalbard. Russian President Vladimir Putin called Norway's seizure of a Russian vessel a manifestation of state terrorism.
