Russia demands €4,2 million as compensation from Norway for 40 deer staying on its territory for two months

The reindeer from Norway came to the reserve in December 2022 after crossing the border on the frozen Pasvik River. The animals were spotted by camera traps, according to Natalia Polikarpova, director of the Pasvik Nature Reserve in Russia’s Murmansk region. Two months later, the reindeer were transferred back to Norway.
