Putin testează NATO în arhipeleagurile Norvegiei
Russia's increasing hybrid activity near Svalbard raises concerns about potential provocations to test NATO's Article 5. Allies suspect Moscow may consider sabotaging submarine cables and is conducting military actions to probe regulatory limits. Norway is enhancing its naval and surveillance capabilities to protect its northern flank, while local authorities in Svalbard have prepared an evacuation plan. Tensions in the Arctic are escalating, with fears of a limited Russian incursion into NATO territory by the decade's end. Experts warn of the unpredictable nature of Russian leadership and its willingness to take risks.
