Norway enforces court-ordered arrest of Russian ship in Svalbard at Naftogaz's request

A Norwegian district court ordered the arrest of a Russian ship in Svalbard following a request from Ukraine's Naftogaz, and the Sysselmester is enforcing it as bailiff. Norway asserts it is not a party to the underlying dispute, but the arrest of Russian state-linked assets in the Arctic adds legal and diplomatic friction. The move signals Western courts' willingness to enforce judgments against Russian entities, potentially escalating tensions with Moscow.
