On Wednesday, the UK imposed sanctions on six people in charge of the Arctic penal colony where Alexei Navalny, Vladimir Putin’s fiercest critic, died last week.
Mr Volodin said withdrawal from the fishing deal was in direct response to these sanctions - as British vessels caught 556,000 tonnes of cod and haddock in Russian waters last year alone.
Last year, Sky News reported that up to 40% of cod and haddock consumed in the UK comes from Russia and Russian territory - with Moscow accused of “weaponising food”.
“Russia’s continued unilateral withdrawal from a number of international cooperation treaties is symptomatic of its self-inflicted isolation on the world stage as a result of its illegal invasion of Ukraine.”
The boss of successful chain Blue Lagoon - which has branches across Scotland including in Glasgow, Perth and Stirling - said the firm gets its fish fresh daily from the North Sea.
Mr Varese said the firm is facing rising costs from its suppliers and utility providers, and is calling for the Scottish government to grant a 75% rates relief to the hospitality industry.
