Russia Expels Norwegian Defense Advisor
A Norwegian TV channel said Thursday that Norway’s Defense Ministry has confirmed the expulsion of its advisor from Russia, RIA Novosti news agency reports. Ingjerd Kroken was declared persona non grata and expelled from Russia immediately following her arrival at a Moscow airport Wednesday as part of an official Norwegian delegation.
Kroken, who is also a co-chairperson of the Arctic Military Environmental Cooperation, was a member of the delegation that arrived in Moscow to discuss the decommissioning of nuclear submarines on the Kola Peninsula, in Russia’s north. Norway has allocated some 160 million euros to the project since 1993.
