Russia is demanding Norway pay up to $4.4 million in compensation after 42 Norwegian reindeer wandered across the border
Norway is now repairing a fence dating from 1954 that prevents reindeer from crossing into Russia.

They’re wild animals. Seriously who gives a fuck, plus at the rate we’re going they’d probably go extinct in the next 50-100 years
Russia killed all the ones they caught. So probably a little sooner now.
Russia didn't catch any? 40 were slaughtered in Norway after they returned so they couldn't go back to russia.
Are you for real? So now animals need passports to go through borders?
They are extremely free-range but not wild animals, so the owner is supposed to have some general control of where they are going.
But anyway, this is not a problem for Sweden of Finland. It is resolved amicably if even noticed at all.
Russia is just their usual doing-whatever-they-want and saying-whatever-they-want. A few years ago, when some of their illegal fishing vessels were told to stop fishing illegally by the coastal guard, they made up some new and immediate laws to prohibit existing Norwegian ship trade. When some of the food we imported from them were found to be below safety standards and rejected, they suddenly found that all salmon they imported from Norway were extremely low quality and they demanded to pay less for it.
Petty bullshit. Diplomatically they are kids imitating the language of bigger kids.
Imagine the russians surprise when norwegian troops come pouring out of those reindeer in the middle of the night
