Russia is ready to scrap all its rusting nuclear submarines in the Arctic north if Norway provides credits for dismantling them, President Boris Yeltsin said on Tuesday (26/05).
The Kola peninsula, which borders on Norway, was the base of the Soviet Northern Fleet during the Cold War, but since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 drastic defence cuts have deprived Russia of the funds needed to scrap the ageing nuclear submarines.
