Russia and Norway approved terms for fishing in the Barents and Norwegian seas for 2025, indicating that the industry remains one of a few where a NATO member is still able to agree with President Vladimir Putin’s government since he sent troops to Ukraine.

Russia and Norway approved total quotas for cod, haddock and other types of fishing resources for 2025 during a session of the joint commission held via video conference, fishing authorities from the two countries said in separate statements.
