Russia is demanding Norway pay up to $4.4 million in compensation after 42 Norwegian reindeer wandered across the border
Norway is now repairing a fence dating from 1954 that prevents reindeer from crossing into Russia.
They are not grazing, simply vacationing. A Special Reindeer Operation, if you will.
And sometimes you do Reindeer Games.
Ah russia can't even defend themselves from reindeer it would seem
Sweden should 'accidentally' torpedo one of their subs when it wanders into their waters, then send them a bill for the torpedo that 'wandered into their hull', should cancel out.
I either don't get it or this joke has no logic.
The Soviet Union/Russia have a habit of sending submarines into Swedish waters.

They’re wild animals. Seriously who gives a fuck, plus at the rate we’re going they’d probably go extinct in the next 50-100 years
Broke ass bitch
They're probably pining for the fjords now.
4.4 million rubles?isn’t that like 400 dollars…?
worth 0 dollars when your trade is embargoed and you lose recognition as a country
They definitely want the hard currency
It was 47 million nok, or 4.4 million usd. Not rubles.
Russia and Norway did not live happily ever antler after this.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
And while there's a fence to prevent reindeer from crossing borders, that barrier dates back to 1954 with parts in disrepair, the Norwegian Directorate of Agriculture said in a statement last Thursday.
The rundown fence has allowed 42 reindeer to cross into Russia this year in search of better pastures in Pasvik Zapovednik, a Russian national park.
Russia has already sent one claim — with two different ways of calculating the compensation — for the runaway reindeer's grazing, the Norwegian Directorate of Agriculture told Insider in an email on Thursday.
The latter claim is calculated based on the total number of days the reindeer have spent grazing in the national park.
"It is strictly forbidden to cross the border into Russia, for reindeer too," the Norwegian Directorate of Agriculture said in a statement last Thursday, according to an AFP translation.
Russia's natural resources and environment ministry did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Insider sent outside regular business hours.
