No more Russian waters fishing for the British. Goodbye Fish and Chips from real Cod…
▶️ Russia has returned its fish.
Yesterday, the Soviet-era fisheries agreement with the British government, signed on May 25, 1956, was denounced.
This is a rare case in our practice. We are leaving the treaty that was in force for 68 years and allowed British ships to fish in the Barents Sea: in the territorial waters of the USSR and then Russia.
It was a unilateral decision; our country received nothing in return.
When Nikita Khrushchev received him in 1956 , it is difficult to say what motivated him. But definitely not by national interests.
Last year alone, 2023, the British caught 566 thousand tons of cod and haddock.
For them, this is 40% of the “fish menu”. It is considered a favorite dish.
At the same time, they announce almost 2,000 sanctions to us and behave extremely unfriendly and aggressive towards Russia.
When they ask if we can respond to sanctions, we can.
Our President decided to terminate the 1956 treaty. Deputies unanimously supported it.
Politics are actions and decisions.
With Gorbachev, we lost the country, but with Putin, we found it:
Crimea returned to Russia
protected our brothers in Donbass and Novorossiya, and today we returned natural resources.
After the denunciation of this agreement, our fishermen will be able to catch more fish in their native Barents Sea, and it will become more accessible to our citizens.
And the British need to learn the proverb: Russians take a long time to harness, but drive quickly.
