The Russians came ashore in camouflage work clothes. The sleeves of the suits had stripes with the Russian tricolor. Local police determined that the sailors were wearing military uniforms. Therefore, she imposed a fine of five thousand Norwegian kroner – that's 35 thousand rubles. The prosecutor explained that the decision was made based on a law that prohibits wearing a military uniform without permission.
