Starting May 29, most Russian tourists will not be able to enter Norway, which shares a 198-kilometer border with Russia in the Arctic, the government said in a statement.
"The decision to tighten the entry rules are in line with the Norwegian approach of standing by allies and partners in the reactions against Russia's illegal war of aggression against Ukraine," Minister of Justice and Public Security Emilie Enger Mehl said in the statement.
