La Norvège n’exclut pas une annexion partielle de son territoire par la Russie
Norwegian border town that for decades built its identity on east-west cross-border contacts and travel, #Kirkenes:
“Russia has become an authoritarian regime. Any contact on a municipal level is not possible anymore,” says Magnus Mæland, mayor of Sør-Varanger to the Barents Observer.
“It’s not in my interest to have this kind of contact with Russia, because it’s a security threat to the world.”
@phgsng Yep! Kirkenes is as far east as Alexandria in Egypt.
(it's cheating a bit, since the longitudes are spaced closer together when you get closer to the poles, but still...)
But #Kirkenes still runs on Oslo time because anything else would be too confusing.
And heh... during winter you don't have any sun to worry about and during summer the sun is up all the time anyway... so... 🙂
