Russia Seeks Baltic Sea Border Clarification Amid Concerns

The Russian Foreign Ministry emphasized that Russia's Baltic Sea borders align with international law, amidst concerns in surrounding Baltic states over a recent defense ministry proposal to revise maritime borders, which was briefly posted and removed from an official portal.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Thursday that Russia's borders in the Baltic Sea should be in accordance with international law. She said that work by Russia's defence ministry to "clarify" the border was of a technical nature.
