Norway and Russia

Norway scores 22/100 toward Russia (unfriendliness, pressure), while Russia scores 18/100 back.

Norway toward Russia

Norway seized the Russian vessel Professor Molchanov in Arctic waters to enforce a Ukrainian compensation claim, directly antagonizing Russia. This coercive legal action against Russian state assets reflects clear diplomatic unfriendliness, even if framed as enforcing court orders.

Russia toward Norway

Russia called Norway's ship seizure 'an act of piracy,' and separately an ultranationalist Russian church leader assembled military priests and war veterans on the Norway border, signaling hostile rhetoric and pressure from Moscow toward Oslo.
