WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Arctic Council countries Canada, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden and the United States said they would not travel to Russia for meetings and were pausing participation in all Council meetings following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, according to a joint statement issued by the U.S. State Department. The countries “condemn Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine and note the grave impediments to international cooperation, including in the Arctic, that Russia’s actions have caused,” the statement said.
