TL;DR Summary

Hvaldimir, a beluga whale that was found in Norway in 2019 with a harness that had "Equipment St Petersburg" printed on it, has been spotted off the coast of Sweden. Marine biologists believe the whale may have been trained by Russia's navy and is accustomed to humans. The whale, nicknamed Hvaldimir, has been slowly moving down the top half of the Norwegian coastline before suddenly speeding up in recent months to cover the second half and moving on to Sweden. The OneWhale organization is concerned about Hvaldimir's ability to find food in Sweden, and they have already observed some weight loss.
