The 3rd Reich did the same in August 1939 to justify waging war on Poland:

The Professor Molchanov, which was carrying scientists, passengers and vital supplies, was seized in Svalbard as Ukraine’s Naftogaz pursues Russian assets.

Norway has seized a Russian research vessel in Svalbard at the request of Kiev, prompting Russian President Vladimir Putin to denounce the capture of civilian vessels as “state terrorism.”

The vessel, called the Professor Molchanov, was detained while docked in Barentsburg, a Russian-operated settlement on the Norwegian-administered Arctic archipelago. The ship has been barred from leaving after a local court granted a request by Ukraine’s state-owned energy company Naftogaz.

Moscow has since summoned Norway’s ambassador in protest and vowed to challenge the seizure.

Why was a Russian state vessel in Norway in the first place, why does Kiev want it, and what could happen to the ship now?

What exactly happened

The Professor Molchanov arrived in Barentsburg on Tuesday on a scheduled voyage from Murmansk carrying scientists, passengers and supplies for the Russian settlements on the Norwegian-administered Arctic archipelago of Svalbard.

Norwegian officials first boarded the vessel for what Svalbard Governor Lars Fause described as an ordinary border and customs inspection, of a kind the ship had undergone numerous times before. 

On Wednesday, Norwegian police, accompanied by an interpreter, boarded the ship again and read a court order to its captain, barring the vessel from leaving. Nobody aboard was arrested.

The order was issued on August 31 by the Nord-Troms and Senja District Court after an application from Ukraine’s Naftogaz.

What happened to the passengers and crew

The exact number of people on board when the ship arrived in Barentsburg has not been officially confirmed. The Professor Molchanov can accommodate up to 80 people, including at least 20 crew members and as many as 60 scientists and other expedition personnel.

Norwegian media have reported that around 50 passengers and crew were affected by the seizure. 

Russian officials have said that 21 people remained on board. They have been supplied with everything they need and continue working, with no Norwegian police or officials stationed on the vessel.

Those who had already gone ashore were not detained and have been able to continue their planned work. They include participants in the Arctic Biennale art-and-science project. 

The seizure has, however, left some passengers without their planned transport back to Russia. Norwegian authorities have said they are working with Arktikugol to resolve the situation for those affected, but no alternative route has yet been announced.

The Professor Molchanov

The ship, named after renowned Soviet meteorologist Pavel Molchanov, is a Russian state-owned, ice-strengthened research vessel with more than four decades of experience operating in polar waters.

Built in Finland for the Soviet hydrometeorological service and launched in late 1982, the 71-meter-long ship was designed for Arctic oceanographic and weather research. It carries four laboratories on board and can accommodate dozens of researchers alongside its crew.

The ship continues to be actively used in Arctic research, including studies of weather, marine ecosystems, microbiology, biodiversity and environmental conditions in the Barents and Kara seas.

Why it goes to Svalbard

The voyage to Svalbard was part of a regular route between Murmansk and Barentsburg, a Russian mining settlement where the state-owned Arktikugol trust has operated for decades.

Since 2025, the Professor Molchanov has carried scientists, Arktikugol employees, contractors, family members and supplies to Barentsburg and another Russian settlement called Pyramida. Ten round trips were planned for 2026.

It is currently the only vessel providing a direct passenger connection between the Russian mainland and the archipelago after direct air links between Russia and Svalbard ended in 2020.

While Svalbard is under Norwegian sovereignty, it is governed by the 1920 Svalbard Treaty, which grants nationals of signatory countries rights to conduct commercial and scientific activities on the archipelago.

Why Ukraine wants the ship

The seizure of the vessel stems from a long-running dispute over Crimea. Ukraine’s Naftogaz has claimed that it lost energy assets after the peninsula’s reunification with Russia in 2014 and took the case to an arbitration tribunal in The Hague.

In 2023, the tribunal ordered Russia to pay around $4.22 billion, plus interest and legal costs, ruling that Naftogaz’s assets in Crimea could be treated as Ukrainian “investments” in Russian territory and were protected under a bilateral treaty.

Moscow has rejected the ruling, arguing that the tribunal had no jurisdiction over the dispute and that the treaty did not apply to assets that had already been located in Crimea before its reunification with Russia.

Nevertheless, Naftogaz has since tried to collect the award by targeting Russian state property abroad. It has pursued assets in several Western countries, including Finland, Britain and France, and says the arbitration award can also be enforced in Norway.

According to Reuters, lawyers acting for Naftogaz had been monitoring the Professor Molchanov for months before seeking its seizure.

Will Kiev actually get the ship?

Not automatically. The current order only prevents the Professor Molchanov from leaving Barentsburg while the case proceeds. The vessel remains Russian property and has not yet been transferred to Ukraine.

Naftogaz ultimately wants Russian assets seized abroad to be sold, with the proceeds used to cover part of the $4.22 billion award. According to Reuters, its lawyers sought not only the arrest of the Professor Molchanov, but also its eventual compulsory sale.

However, even if the ship were to be sold, it would cover only a tiny fraction of Kiev’s multibillion-dollar claim.

Russia has also said it will challenge whether the ship can be seized or sold at all. While Naftogaz has claimed that the vessel has a commercial function, Moscow has stressed that it is state-owned, operated by Roshydromet, and used for scientific research and supplying Russian settlements in the Arctic.

Moscow’s response

Moscow has protested the seizure and demanded that Norway release the vessel. On Thursday, the Russian Foreign Ministry summoned Norwegian Ambassador Heidi Olufsen and delivered a “strong protest” over the detention of the ship.

The ministry stressed that the vessel was carrying out a scheduled trip between Murmansk and Barentsburg and was transporting scientists, Arktikugol employees, and supplies needed by Russian settlements on Svalbard.

It accused Oslo of using the restrictions against Russia to undermine Moscow’s longstanding presence on the archipelago, saying Russian organizations and citizens there had effectively been placed in a “state of blockade.”

The ministry also accused Norway of violating the 1920 Svalbard Treaty and said Russian authorities would work to have the seizure lifted.

Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova described the detention as another example of Western “piracy,” while Far East and Arctic Development Minister Aleksey Chekunkov called it “legal nihilism and lawlessness” and said Moscow would challenge the decision.

President Vladimir Putin described the capture of civilian vessels, attacks on merchant ships and threats against civilian aircraft as manifestations of “state terrorism.” He added that Western countries which ignore such actions risk becoming “accomplices in international terrorism.”

Part of a broader campaign against Russian vessels

Western countries have increasingly moved beyond sanctions and begun physically detaining or seizing vessels they accuse of helping Russia bypass restrictions on its trade, claiming the ships are part of a so-called “shadow fleet.”

A number of ships linked to Russia have been held in European waters since 2025, including tankers and cargo vessels detained by Germany, Estonia, France, Belgium, Sweden, and Britain.

Moscow has repeatedly decried the seizures while dismissing the “shadow fleet” designation as legally meaningless.

Putin warned in August that attempts to seize Russian ships and sell their cargo amounted to “piracy and robbery” and said Moscow could respond in kind against vessels carrying cargo for countries involved in such actions.

An attempt to limit Russia in the Arctic?

Russian officials and experts have linked the seizure to a wider Western effort to weaken Moscow’s position in the Arctic. Murmansk Governor Andrey Chibis accused Norwegian officials of trying to “push us out of Svalbard,” stressing that Russia has longstanding economic and scientific interests on the archipelago and that such efforts would fail.

Arctic expert Aleksey Fadeev similarly described the detention as another attempt by Western countries to pressure Russia under the pretext of confiscating property for Ukraine, warning that it could further increase tensions between Moscow and NATO states in the region.

Military analyst Aleksandr Stepanov warned the seizure could set a precedent for disrupting Russian maritime access not only around Svalbard but across northern waters more broadly.

Russian experts have also described the arrest as a potential blow to Russia’s ability to conduct Arctic research, noting that the Professor Molchanov is used for climate, weather, and environmental studies with relevance beyond Russia itself.

from RedFireOnline

In the last week of August, the US CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) Director John Ratcliffe made a surprise trip to Moscow, supposedly to warn Russia against attacking NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organisation) targets in Europe.[1] In reality, it was a mission to beg and plead with the leaders of the Russian Federation to cease their ongoing assault on Ukraine, to prevent its final collapse. Ratcliffe probably both pleaded and brought more threats of unleashing unconventional war on Russia if it did not agree to a ceasefire.

Yet Ratcliffe went away empty handed, as the two highest Russian officials – President Vladimir Putin and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov – refused to meet him. Ratcliffe’s flight to Moscow contains two important confirmations. Firstly, it confirms that NATO is badly losing its proxy war in Ukraine, and the Nazified Ukrainian state may not last until the end of the year. Secondly, it confirms the fact that the war on the Ukrainian side is being organised and directed by none other than the CIA.

Busification

Kyrylo Budanov, the former head of Ukraine’s military intelligence and now the supposed head of the Ukrainian Presidential Office, has recently stated openly that Ukraine needs to “mobilise” 30 000 people into the military per month, just to maintain its current positions.[2] This gives a dire indication of the grim situation for NATO backed Ukraine on the front lines. The Ukrainians who are rounded up into the military and sent to the battle lines will most likely be fed as cannon fodder to the Russian artillery, in a shocking waste of life.

Almost no one in Ukraine wants to join the war at this point, and they are largely fighting back against being dragged there by Ukrainian “President” Zelenskyy’s thugs. The term “busification” has been coined in Ukraine, to describe the forceful and violent abduction of Ukrainians on the streets, throwing them into vans and driving them straight to the front lines. There are many videos circulating online of Ukrainians physically fighting off the military “recruiters”, with some being successful in being released do to help from passers by or friends or partners.[3] Some videos show wives holding on to their husbands in an effort to prevent them being physically dragged away and into waiting vans.

Ukraine is seen as cannon fodder for NATO’s vain regime change war on Russia. The US and EU (European Union) elite do not care how many Ukrainians perish in their push towards World War III on the world’s strongest nuclear armed power. Currently, Ukraine is suffering four times as many deaths as there are births, according to Ukrainian statistics.

In the first half of 2026, 73 000 children were born while nearly 260 000 died.[4] It is said that Ukraine is losing 1000 men per day from its NATO directed war, either killed in action, or wounded, or through desertion. This might be why the puppet Zelenskyy has stated that the aim is to produce 1000 long range drones per day, so they can be fired deep into Russian territory.[5] This is extremely unlikely and cannot even be stated without a guarantee from his US and EU sponsors. Yet the most awful imperialist move may well be US backing for the conscription of women into the Ukrainian military, where they will most likely die alongside men.[6] This is both cynical and sinister.

Each step threatens a nuclear war

The nostrum of the West “fighting Russia to the last Ukrainian” is actually taking place. It is said that Ukraine’s population in 1991 was 52 million, and 44 million in 2022, but that figure may now be as low as 22 million. Understandably, millions of Ukrainians have fled from the country in fear for their lives, regardless of what their political view of the conflict may be. Yet the military actions of Russia have always been in response to the provocations and attacks directed against it by the CIA backed Ukrainian government, or what remains of it.

The current pounding of Kiev and Odessa with missiles and drones is a Russian response to ongoing drone attacks deep into Russian territory, targeting Russian oil refineries and even e-commerce warehouses. In retaliation, Russia has struck Ukrainian storage facilities, resulting in empty shelves in stores throughout Kiev. The port of Odessa has now been closed by the Russian army, but this act was only taken after NATO backed Ukraine began targeting and sinking Russian civilian ships carrying basic goods in the Black Sea.

On August 24, the unelected Prime Minister of the United Kingdom (UK) Andy Burnham travelled to Ukraine to meet Zelenskyy, where he pledged open support for a continued war on Russia. Reportedly, he was handing over blueprints to Ukraine for the production of Storm Shadow missiles, ready to fire deep into Russian territory.[7] This is an unimaginable provocation, which if carried out may result in the destruction of the UK itself, if not an exchange of nuclear weapons.

If this was not enough, there followed a series of articles in British newspapers heavily implying that conscription of people for a war on Russia will begin, with those who dodge it to face “severe consequences”.[8] Due to funding cuts over several decades, the UK’s armed forces have now dwindled to a residual force of only 74 000. Yet an attempt to impose conscription for a war on Russia would be likely to spark a revolt, as most young people regard the current UK government as a joke or worse. The UK is currently in a state of visible decline, with its [establishment] crumbling economically, politically and culturally.

Imperialism’s war on Russia is connected directly to its current war on Iran, which are both ultimately aimed at China. Like King Canute, imperialism is attempting in vain to hold back the tides which are rolling in to wash away US led unipolarity in favour of Eurasian led multipolarity. Washington itself knows that it cannot compete with the vast advances in technology, science, manufacturing and industry in the People’s Republic of China alone, let alone this combined with the efforts of its allies which now include almost the entire Global South. So it is resorting to war, chaos, destabilisation, regime change operations and reactionary colour revolutions, all at the same time. Yet all can see the limits of US power today.

Working people have a direct material interest in halting the warmongering of the elite politicians of the US, the UK and the EU.  However, in the West there effectively is no anti-war movement, as the “left” remains almost silent. This silence is partially based on their characterisation of Russia as “authoritarian” or even “imperialist” – which bends to the most extreme Russophobia.

Whatever your view of the Russian government, the West must coexist with Russia, otherwise it is World War III. Anti-war organising must be directly linked to the desperate cost of living crisis facing the overwhelming majority in the West – food, housing, utility bills and more. It is one struggle. No War on Russia! No to NATO! No to Conscription!
