A 1956 agreement that allowed British boats to fish in the Barents Sea has been ripped up, in the latest sign of growing tensions between Moscow and the West.
The fishing deal was signed by Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev, but Russian politicians have now claimed it was never in the national interest.
…
Russia’s parliamentary speaker Vyacheslav Volodin said: “The British need to study some proverbs - ‘Russians harness the horse slowly, but ride it fast’.”
He told politicians that “the unscrupulous British” had eaten Russian fish for 68 years - declaring: “Now let them lose weight, get smarter.”
Also like, Britain is islands and Russia is the largest country in the world. Who do you think is better equipped to handle rising sea levels? I know which has a LOOOOOT more inland.
Russia faces more flooding than the UK because of thawing snow and ice you dummy.
You don’t even know the country you’re trying to defend. Learn geography moron
