Norway’s Defence Minister Tore Sandvik has warned that Russia is massing nuclear weapons, submarines, and advanced tactical systems on the Kola Peninsula inside the Arctic Circle—home to one of the world’s largest nuclear stockpiles and Russia’s Northern Fleet. In his interview with The Telegraph, Sandvik claimed Moscow is preparing for potential conflict with NATO, testing nuclear-armed torpedoes, hypersonic missiles, and expanding Arctic naval bases aimed at blocking Western supply routes. He emphasized that the weapons “are pointed not only at Norway, but at the UK, Canada, and the U.S.” and described Norway as NATO’s “eyes and ears” in the High North. mes
