Refugees seeking asylum in Norway have been braving the cold tempratures of the Russian Arctic to reach Europe. Exhausted and lacking money, many are using bicycles to cross the border from Russia to Norway, one of the world’s richest nations and a member of Europe’s passport-free ‘Schengen area’, though not of the European Union.

    1. Recently I watched interview with member of Norwegian Foreign Affairs Ministry who addressed this issue. Apparently people who cross the border between Russia and Norway are mainly Assad supporters as majority of them got valid Russian visas and lived in Russia for months. Those people will not get a refugee status in Norway and are deported back to Russia within weeks since they already "found safe haven" in Russia", only people whose documents prove strict transit through Russia will be accepted.
