00:00 Leaders around the Baltic Sea have reacted warily to reports Russia could revise the
00:06 borders of its territorial waters in the region. The plan would revise coordinates used to
00:12 measure the territorial waters off of Russia's mainland coast and that of its islands in
00:16 the Baltic Sea. Leaders had varying reactions.
00:20 Russia is testing us, how we react on that. And as we see, everyone of you want to know
00:25 what we will do. We will not jump into the fire. So every time you see something, especially
00:32 from the Russian media, my advice is very simple. Please be careful. Because normally
00:40 it is either fake news or deliberate spy ops.
00:45 But Russian state media Interfax quoted a diplomatic source as saying the country had
00:51 no plans to revise its territorial maritime borders. Changing maritime borders requires
00:57 unanimous consent among states and negotiations can take several years.
