Norway has unexpectedly seized a Russian expedition ship off Svalbard, taking a step aimed at enforcing Ukrainian claims.
The case is unusual in its form, according to Der Spiegel. The detention links the dispute over the Russian vessel to Ukrainian demands and gives the action significance beyond the immediate seizure.
The magazine suggests that the move could trouble the Kremlin more than it publicly acknowledges.
