On June 18, 2025, the Government of the Russian Federation issued Resolution No. 914, introducing a significant update to the country’s maritime boundaries in the Baltic Sea. This resolution establishes a new set of geographic coordinates for the baselines from which Russia measures the width of its territorial sea, contiguous zone, and continental shelf off its mainland coast and islands in the Baltic Sea. Notably, it also invalidates the corresponding section of the 1985 Soviet-era baseline list, signaling a shift in Russia’s approach to maritime delimitation in the region. See the resolution here.
