On March 19, 2014 the Ambassador of Ukraine to the Kingdom of Norway held a meeting with the Deputy Member of the Storting Eirik Sivertsen (The Labour Party) and informed him about the recent events in Ukraine, in particular on the territory of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, the international condemnation of Russia’s actions toward Ukraine, the non-recognition by the international community of the results of the Crimean “referendum” and Russia’s annexation of that part of Ukraine. Also, possible ways of using Ukraine’s scientific potential in the international research and development of the Arctic region were discussed.
