Embassy of Russia, Oslo

The Embassy of Russia in Oslo is the diplomatic mission of Russia to Norway. The embassy is located on Drammensveien (road) in the Skarpsno area of Oslo.[1]

The street intersection that is closest to the embassy, will get the name "Ukraine square" (Ukrainas plass);[2] Authorities of Frogner Borough in Oslo, Norway made that decision on March 8, 2022.[2]

The square outside the embassy was renamed Ukrainas plass (Ukraine Square) by the city on 7 March 2022 in support of Ukraine's freedom, in response to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.
