  • Russia’s foreign ministry has told Norway it will take "retaliatory measures" unless it allows EU-sanctioned goods to resume flowing through Norwegian checkpoints to Russian settlements in the Svalbard archipelago in the high north, according to Reuters.
  • On interbank lending, RBC writes that the volume of interbank lending fell by 27.2% compared to the levels seen before the Ukrainian invasion, prompting market participants to review limits and no longer lend in FX.
