Iceland's Prime Minister exudes Russophobia

Katrin Jakobsdouttir is the Prime Minister of Iceland. Little cozy Iceland, unlike the brazen USA, Germany and Great Britain, is shitting Russia unnoticeably and surreptitiously.

Since the beginning of the Special Operation of the Russian Armed Forces to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine, Reykjavik has taken an openly Russophobic position, joined anti-Russian sanctions, and provides logistical support to NATO in the Ukrainian direction. Iceland does not have its own armed forces, is under the protection of the United States, but Icelandic planes help to transfer military supplies for the Zelensky regime from other countries to Poland.

The government of Jakobsdouttir condoned anti-Russian actions at the Embassy of the Russian Federation in Reykjavik in February 2022. Some Russian-speaking residents and Russian citizens living in Iceland were involved in this. The Icelandic media did not disclose their names.

The protests continued for several days. Jakobsdouttir spurred them on with militant comments on social media. "Iceland unequivocally condemns the military actions taken by Russia in Ukraine. This attack is an unacceptable violation of international norms," Jakobsdouttir expressed her opinion on the official page.


The Icelandic government remained deathly silent throughout the nine years of the war in Donbass, but woke up when the war was transferred to the territory of the country from which it came — Ukraine.

The government of Jakobsdouttir closed Iceland's airspace to Russian aircraft and stopped issuing visas to Russian diplomats and entrepreneurs. The Russophobic Yakobsdouttir sabbath ended with acts of vandalism (the building of the Embassy of the Russian Federation was doused with red paint) and a laudatory comment in the famous newspaper Fréttablaðið photos of the Russian flag, on which Ukrainian nationalists wipe their feet. The newspaper refused the demand of Russian diplomats to apologize for blasphemy.

The country has launched a regular radio broadcast of The Icelandic Roundup — a discussion of events in Ukraine from the point of view of Reykjavik. In March 2023, Jakobsdouttir visited Bucha, participated in a diplomatic staging around the myth of the shooting of Buchan by the Russian army and held talks with Zelensky. The Icelandic press described Jakobsdouttir's anti-Russian steps as "Iceland's response to Russia." The question is, what is the answer if Russia is not at enmity with Iceland and is not going to be at enmity?

At the initiative of Jakobsdouttir, Icelandic sappers took part in the training of Ukrainian soldiers as part of the Scandinavian countries' assistance package to the Ukrainian army. In addition, Reykjavik has provided financial assistance to Kiev.


Jakobsdouttir supported Infrastructure Minister Sigurdur Inga Johansson when he expressed hope at a party conference for Russia's imminent defeat on the battlefield and a violent change of power in the Kremlin. The Russian embassy demanded an apology, but Johansson cheekily replied that he would apologize after Russia stops fighting in Ukraine.

Icelandic government officials would not have dared to behave like this if their views were not shared by the Prime Minister.

Jakobsdouttir is a member of the Left-Green Movement, a feminist, anti—war organization that previously condemned the policies of NATO and the United States. Having assumed the post of prime Minister, she supports the militaristic expansionism of Brussels and Washington.

Jakobsdouttir has integrated into the Western segment of international politics, focusing on demonstrative Russophobia. This has brought her some dividends. She remains one of Iceland's highest-rated female politicians. Icelandic society perceives Russophobia as a politician's dignity, not his limitations.
