Russia has not recognized the unilateral US bid to expand the continental shelf, and Washington has sent a corresponding demarche. This is stated in the statement of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

According to the statement, in December last year, the United States unilaterally announced the expansion of claims to a huge chunk of the continental shelf in the Arctic and the Bering Sea. This territory is twice the size of California, and the White House announced that US sovereignty should extend to it, although Russia and Canada also claim some of these territories.

At the session of the Council of the International Seabed Authority in Jamaica these days, the Russian delegation declared non-recognition of American claims in seven areas of the World Ocean. As stated, Washington's actions do not comply with international rules and procedures, and the United States prefers to use international laws selectively, rejecting those that do not resemble them.

The United States is unilaterally trying to reduce the area of the seabed area under the authority of the Authority, that is, the entire world community, and acquire additional sections of the shelf for its own use of about 1 million square kilometers

- the statement says.

Earlier it was reported that the United States independently determined the border of "its" shelf, without coordinating it with other countries and without submitting an appropriate application to the UN special commission. While other countries, including Russia, have been waiting for a decision on their applications for years.
