Kremlin targets Norway as Ukrainian strikes hit Russian infrastructure

Kremlin officials have intensified criticism against Norway following NATO military maneuvers and the impoundment of a Russian vessel, with President Vladimir Putin making accusations of "state terrorism." In response, Norwegian leaders, including Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, urged the public to remain vigilant and prepared without panicking.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces claimed a major drone strike near Moscow disrupted over half the target facility's refining capacity. Scandinavian analysts suggest that while Russia maintains the resources to sustain its war effort, its strategic flexibility is diminishing. Media coverage highlights that European security objectives ultimately require limiting Moscow's strategic ambitions.
